SNIP is expanding … and our community is helping make it happen. ☺️🐾
When we first announced our plans to expand, we knew that getting from an idea to an actual, functioning surgical space would take a lot of planning, a lot of work, and, most of all, a lot of support.
Since then, our community has already helped us make some very big pieces of that plan a reality.
More than $12,500 in equipment has now been purchased or donated for the expansion, including a complete setup for another prep station, two additional operating tables, and kennel banks so we can get more dogs on the schedule!
That’s a HUGE start! But we’re not quite there yet.
We still have approximately $18,500 to go to complete the construction, add the equipment and surgical instruments we need, and fill in all of the smaller pieces that turn an empty space into a working surgical facility.
And we’re going to keep fundraising every way we can — from our upcoming pet portrait fundraiser 👻🎃 and bake sale 🍰🍪 to some very cute SNIP-grown aloe plants in even cuter 3D-printed pots. 🌱
As you can see, this expansion is no longer just a plan. It’s really happening!!!
After more than 55,000 surgeries, we’ve reached the point where we’ve outgrown our current space and capacity. This expansion will allow us to increase our ability to provide affordable, accessible spay and neuter services to our community.
We are working with Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets (friendsofjcaspets) to make this happen. If you’d like to help us finish what we’ve started, you can make a tax-deductible donation here:

Or check the comments for other ways to donate! And keep watching our page for upcoming fundraising events.
And if donating isn’t in the cards, sharing this post is a huge help.
We’ve come this far because people believed in what SNIP is doing. Help us take the last steps toward opening our new space.
