Spay/Neuter and Adoption Information


Every year, we spay or neuter thousands of animals in Northwest Ohio!

Planned Pethood provides free or low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for low-income families in the greater Toledo area.

  • Most years, we have received zero dollars in grant funding to support our efforts. In August of 2010, we received a $15,000 grant to spay/neuter 500 animals. We will get another $15,000 to spay/neuter 500 more animals in 2011. Using our funds wisely, we have helped more than 500 animals with our first $15,000. In 2010, 2,300 dog and cat spay/neuter surgeries were financed by Planned Pethood and returned to their homes or to the neighborhoods they came from.

  • Most of these funds were set aside out of Planned Pethood's general operating budget, specifically for this purpose. In the fourth quarter of 2010, with the grant money and our own Spay/Neuter budget, Planned Pethood was able to assist even more animals in our community.

  • The money for these programs comes from your donations, available grants and volunteer-run fundraisers, such as Paw Hoorah and our Rummage Sale.

  • We believe spaying and neutering animals is the ultimate rescue! Over 3,900 dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered through our low-cost program, with support from local veterinarians.

Our Staff


Every year, we find good homes for hundreds of cats and dogs. In 2008, Planned Pethood found adoptive homes for 1,241 cats, kittens, dogs and puppies.

  • Since 1979, we have found homes for cats and kittens who might have otherwise ended up homeless or euthanized.

  • Every cat we save comes from the Toledo area.

  • Since 1979, we have found good homes for dogs and puppies that otherwise might have had dire endings.

  • Many of these dogs were rescued from local dog pounds where they were at high risk for euthanasia. Others were strays or dogs whose owners could no longer care for them.

  • Every dog and puppy we save comes from Northwest Ohio.

We thank you for your continued support!
