Spay Baton Rouge is a not-for-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to decreasing the number of companion animals (pets) euthanized in our community.
Mission Statement - Spay Baton Rouge will decrease the euthanasia of companion animals by providing affordable spay and neuter services to pets of low-income persons in the greater Baton Rouge area.
 The Need - Pet overpopulation, caused by the uncontrolled, unplanned, breeding of fertile cats and dogs, is a serious problem in Baton Rouge – a serious problem that creates thousands of innocent animals born each year only to meet the fate of being destroyed. Our goal is to decrease uncontrolled/unplanned breeding, thus ending this cycle.
Over 9,000 unwanted pets will be destroyed by the East Baton Rouge Animal Control this year alone. The best solution to this sad reality is to stop the unwanted animals from being born. As part of that solution, Spay Baton Rouge provides spay and neuter assistance to qualified pet owners through association with Azalea Lakes Veterinary Clinic, the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, and a number of local area vet clinics.

Louisiana School of Veterinary Medicine started a program called ASAP (Animal Sterilization Assistance Program) that provides spay/neuter surgeries for our qualified clients’ pets once a month. We are also fortunate to have Azalea Lakes Veterinary Clinic open up their clinic once or twice a month, when it is normally closed, to spay/neuter cats for our program. |

 Baton Rouge Parish euthanizes over 80% of the animals impounded yearly. If we continue to euthanize as a method to control our pet overpopulation problem, we will continually be playing catch up with animals that produce on average 10 offspring per year. Spay Baton Rouge is a non-profit organization established in 2004. We recognize that the pet overpopulation problem in our parish is a community problem. With more animals than homes, the only logical way to slow down the overpopulation problem is to stop the production of the problem at the source.
