Reduce Pet Homelessness
Monroe County Residents have done an outstanding job in getting their pets fixed. In 2009, animal intake at the Monroe County Animal Shelter was 5909. Yet in 2024, animal intake was only 1951 animals at Eastbourne Animal Center. Getting your pets altered reduces unwanted or unplanned pet births which that can create financial burdens and with these pets potentially being surrendered or even worse, let go as strays! These pets then end up in centers like ours needing care, food & support.

Our Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)
Our organization promotes spay and neuter in our communities through our SNAP program. This program gives vouchers for spay-neuter surgeries to people who otherwise would not alter their animal due to the cost of the surgery. The number of animals taken in at the shelter has declined every year since this program started.
Objectives
MCFA’s SNAP program provides free spay/neuter vouchers to low-income residents of Monroe County, TN. Due to the cost burden, low-income pet owners are unfortunately a major source of strays and abandoned pets due to the cost of feeding & caring for their pets. The spay/neuter surgery is needed to reduce unwanted puppies or kittens and SNAP helps provide this service with a no-cost spay/neuter surgery Note: Other items like vaccines, vet care, etc. are at owners’ expense.
SNAP attacks the root cause of animal overpopulation in our community by preventing unwanted litters. The SNAP program will significantly reduce the animal intake and over time, eliminate euthanasia of healthy animals at the Eastbourne Animal Center.
Improve Pet Health by Getting them Spayed or Neutered
Studies show that pets who live in the states with the highest rates of spaying/ neutering also live the longest. Part of the reduced lifespan of unaltered pets can be attributed to their increased urge to roam, exposing them to fights with other animals, getting struck by cars, and other mishaps. Another contributor to the increased longevity of altered pets involves the reduced risk of certain types of cancers. For example, male pets who are neutered eliminate their chances of getting testicular cancer and it is thought that they also have lowered rates of prostate cancer, and female pets that are spayed, have lowered rates of mammary tumors.
