The Kindness Animal Hospital is proud to participate in and promote the NH Animal Population Control Program. We waive 20% of our usual surgical fees to help in its support.  This program has greatly reduced the number of unwanted pets in NH and has been used as a model for other states. It was developed by a joint effort of the NH shelters and the NH Veterinary Medical Association. Please adopt from a shelter to support this program and help reduce the number of shelter animals killed each year.

Why Spay or Neuter?

Over 10 million cats and dogs are killed in shelters each year. Millions more are abandoned. While we have been very successful in reducing the overpopulation problem in NH, the problem is still very real. NH has a well recognized animal population control program. Owners of unspayed and unaltered pets pay a higher licensing fee and these funds provide for a low cost program for pets and owners who are less fortunate.
