Spay Neuter Network

What Spay Neuter Network does

Spay Neuter Network (SNN) is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2004 by Bonnie Hill in Kaufman County, delivering low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and preventive wellness services to financially challenged pet owners, feral/community cat caretakers, and municipal shelter and rescue partners across 16+ Texas counties. Its service platform combines four stationary high-volume clinics (Crandall, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio), a Mobile Animal Surgery Hospital (MASH/HOPE Mobile) capable of holding up to 50 animals and serving up to 50 pets per day, three surgery transport vans and a dedicated vaccine clinic van operating 4-5 days per week, and a self-serve online appointment portal. SNN also operates a Community Pet Care Program (vet exams, dental, end-of-life) at Fort Worth, a RACE CE-approved Veterinary Mentorship Program (162 mentorship days, 182 participants, 5,823 surgeries completed), veterinary externships in partnership with Texas A&M and others, and a Humane Education Initiative for K-5 students.

The underlying operational methodology is high-quality, high-volume (HQHV) spay/neuter surgical technique, which enables 34,206 surgeries in 2025 at per-pet pricing of $55-$135 depending on species and weight tier, plus $25-$156 wellness packages and a $40-$100 deposit-based Community Pet Care model. Revenue mechanics mix earned service fees (transactional surgery, vaccine, and wellness pricing), an online pharmacy partnership with Vetsource (AutoShip subscriptions, RemindMe monthly shipments), individual donations, a tiered monthly giving program ("The Fix" at $10-$250), corporate sponsorships (including sponsored transport vans and the mobile clinic), merchandise through Bonfire, and a deep foundation grant pipeline (Maddie's Fund, Petco Love, Banfield Foundation, PetSmart Charities, Communities Foundation of Texas, San Antonio Area Foundation, North Texas Community Foundation, Byrne Family Foundation, Summerlee Foundation, Dallas Foundation, Saving Hope Foundation, and others).

SNN's go-to-market is a hybrid direct-to-consumer/channel-partner/event-driven/community-led motion: pet owners book online or via walk-in vaccine clinics; the City of Dallas and Fort Worth Animal Care & Control route 311 surrender calls and high-intake animals through SNN's Pet Support and Resource Center; 36+ partner cities and rescue groups funnel demand; and Community Outreach Coordinators conduct door-to-door, school, and church outreach in low-income, high-need neighborhoods. The organization has sterilized more than 350,000 pets, administered 450,000+ vaccinations, and transported 65,000+ pets for surgery since 2004; in 2025 it served 71,279 pets across Texas. Governance is led by a volunteer Board of Directors with day-to-day management by Executive Director Jacob Carty (2026), Director of Clinic Operations Tamin Erario, Director of Finance Monica Rodriguez, Director of Fund Development Alicia Hargrove, and Medical Director Dr. Marc Stickney (formerly 18 years on Texas A&M faculty).

Recent moves14 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• SPCA of Texas: Large regional animal-welfare nonprofit operating shelters, low-cost spay/neuter clinics, and surrender prevention programs across North Texas (Dallas, McKinney). Geographic and service overlap with SNN in DFW; comparable mission but broader scope including sheltering and adoptions.
• Operation Kindness: Texas-based nonprofit animal shelter and adoption organization in North Texas, and a strategic partner of SNN for the Access to Care Externship. Comparable on community veterinary access mission and DFW footprint, though focused on sheltering and adoption rather than direct HQHV surgery services.
• Texas Litter Control (TLC) / SNIP Texas: Texas-based nonprofit coalition of HQHV spay/neuter clinics and TNR programs under the SNIP banner (SNIP, SNIP HOORAY, Saving Hope Foundation). Operates the same HQHV methodology in other Texas markets and partners with SNN's Humane Education Initiative; comparable service but non-overlapping geography.

Broad incumbents

• ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance (ASPCA SNIP): National ASPCA-operated HQHV spay/neuter training and clinic program based in Asheville, NC. Operates the SNIP training curriculum (same HQHV methodology), runs clinics, and offers externships — directly comparable service model with national reach and larger budget envelope.
• Best Friends Animal Society: National no-kill animal-welfare organization that awarded SNN the 2020 Lifesaving Award and runs its own network of pet-support and spay/neuter programs across the U.S. Comparable mission (shelter diversion, lifesaving), partnership role with SNN, and broader geographic reach.
• PetIQ (VetIQ, PetVet Care Centers): Public-traded (former) low-cost veterinary services platform operating VetIQ Pet Care clinics inside retail partners (Walmart, Tractor Supply) plus PetVet Care Centers. Directly comparable in low-cost vaccine/spay/neuter service mix but for-profit and retail-anchored, serving a different end customer than SNN's nonprofit subsidized model.
• Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) — Spay/Neuter Programs: National animal-welfare umbrella funding and operating HQHV spay/neuter clinics, community cat TNR, and shelter diversion programs. Comparable by mission (low-cost sterilization, TNR, population control) and ecosystem scale, though larger and broader in scope than SNN's Texas-only operation.

Direct peers

• FixNation: Los Angeles-based nonprofit specializing exclusively in free spay/neuter and TNR for community/feral cats. Closest direct peer on the feral/community cat surgery program (SAFCC $25 model), HQHV methodology, and trap-neuter-return focus, though regional to California.
• Pet Community Center (Nashville, TN): Nonprofit HQHV spay/neuter, vaccine, and basic wellness clinic in Nashville with a mobile unit and surrender-prevention programming. Closest peer by integrated model (low-cost clinic + mobile + pet retention support), at a smaller scale and in a different region.
• Emancipet: Nonprofit low-cost and free veterinary clinic operator headquartered in Austin, TX, with a fixed-clinic + mobile HQHV spay/neuter model across Texas and other states. Closest peer by service mix (HQHV spay/neuter, vaccines, mobile clinics) and geography; comparable scale and mission alignment.
