Are we talking licensed vet? Or sociopath with some scissors kind of offer?

I think it would be a great service for those who need, but I would still use my own vet for it since we have a good relationship

I’ve noticed the people who don’t spay and neuter are usually homeless, low income, elderly, or in rural areas. Not the kind of people that a Reddit post would connect with usually. So really the only way would be by community outreach which would be a bit harder than just a flyer offering free services.

I would benefit as I have an 11 month old pup that needs this service but I've been hit with several expensive home repairs and currently don't have the funds available

I managed to wipe out the reproductive capacity of the feral colony by the transitional living center off Chestnut Expressway near Boonville. Watching over Whiskers was a fantastic resource, and deserves any charitable contributions you have: http://www.watchingoverwhiskers.org

All of my pets have been fixed at SAAF. I have noticed they have stopped fixing large dogs, but my experience with them with my large and people aggressive dog really cemented them being my favorite local resource. My dog is 110 lbs and incredibly distrusting of people outside our family. He has bitten 2 people. Both were friends who realized they went too far in trying to be friendly with him, so it’s all good. We were at an understanding, but still. It made getting him fixed really hard even with a muzzle. I told them what we were dealing with, they had me bring him in as they started surgery so I could be with him when they put him under, did his surgery first, then called me as soon as it was done so I could pick him up separately and not risk anyone getting bit or hurt. That was so amazing of them. They took something I was so anxious about and went way above what they had to do.
