The JOY Clinic for low cost Spay & Neuter services

06/01/2026

Do you have a large dog who needs to be spayed or neutered?

Know before you book your appointment: Starting TODAY, dogs over 100 lbs will have a small $20 addition to their procedure fee. Larger dogs require more anesthesia, more oxygen and more care during the procedure. We make sure every single dog or cat who enter our doors receive the highest standard of care. 💛

Cat Spay or Neuter — $50
Dog Spay or Neuter, under 100 lbs — $100
Dog Spay or Neuter, over 100 lbs — $120

Still one of the most affordable options in Middle Tennessee because every pet deserves great care and every owner deserves access to it.

FREE MICROCHIPS IN JUNE!

In honor of National Microchip Awareness Month, every pet who visits us during the month of June will receive a FREE microchip thanks to the generous support of the Barbara J. Mapp Foundation! 🐾

If your pet goes missing, you need a plan. According to the American Animal Hospital Association, microchipped dogs have a 52% chance of being reunited with their families compared to just 22% without a chip. For cats, the difference is even more dramatic, with 38% of microchipped cats returning home compared to only 2% without identification.

Don’t wait, appointments fill quickly, and we would love to help protect your pets this month!!

They wore the uniform differently. But they served just the same. 🐾🇺🇸

On this Memorial Day, The Joy Clinic is closed to honor every fallen soldier, human and canine, who gave their life in service to our country.

Freedom has many faces. Today we remember them all. Thank you. 💛

Some days that anesthesia hits harder than others. Pause the videa and see if you can guess what breed of dog is singing to us today. Let's us know if you guessed correctly!

Check it out, this time next week volunteers will be packing up to spend 24 hours in the shelter!

This time next week volunteers will be packing to sleep at the shelter for the Shelter Slumber Pawty! We are a mighty organization powered by a passionate team, an army of volunteers, and the generosity of people just like you. We need your help!

By donating to our Slumber Pawty campaign, you're not just making a number go up on a fundraising page. You're funding surgeries. You're filling food bowls. You're keeping a family from having to surrender a pet they love. You're giving a scared dog or cat the time they need to find their person.

Please consider a donation. The sleepover team, and the dogs and cats, would be so grateful!

Myth Buster Monday: Spay/Neuter Edition 🐾

Let’s clear a few things up...
❌ Myth: It’s better to wait or have “just one litter.”
✅ Fact: There’s no health benefit to having a litter, and spay/neuter surgery can actually help prevent certain cancers and medical issues.

❌ Myth: They’ll become lazy or lose their spark.
✅ Fact: Energy levels are based on age, breed, and lifestyle, not whether a pet is spayed or neutered.

❌ Myth: The surgery will change my cats personality or make her less fun.
✅ Fact: Your pet will still be the same loving, playful companion you know after surgery.

💙 Most importantly, it helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces the number of animals entering shelter system.
