The Big Fix: Friends Of The Escambia Animal Shelter Now Has Mobile Spay/Neuter Unit

December 26, 2019

The Friends Of The Escambia County Animal Shelter now has the area’s first mobile spay/neuter unit thanks to a grant

Animal Aid USA spent 250 hours over six months putting the unit together in a refurbished travel trailer. Last Chance Ranch donated equipment to be used in the mobile unit, and many other organizations donated toward the project.

The nonprofit Friends will be announcing cost, schedule and other details soon.

    Hello, I am disabled and care for 30 cats, I have 8 who need fixing. I live in Century Fl The vet wants 450.00 to fix two. I can’t afford this on fixed income, Does the clinic travel near Escambia county?

    This is awesome!
    Can you guys please go to the Whataburger on 9 mile road and try to catch the wild cats out back that just continue to breed? I feel so sorry for them! There is a lady who goes and feeds them every single morning around 0600-0630, bless her heart. They know her car and run to her when she pulls up, but they are very feral and there are a lot of them!

    Great things happen when you believe. Great idea.
    When will everything be up & running? What a Christmas blessing.

    Friends of the Escambia County Animal shelter will provide all information once the logistics is worked out, both on their website and on their Facebook page.
    Yes, the plan is to periodically station the unit in different areas for a day or two, offering spay/neuter services, and rabies vaccinations. We hope to offer all vaccinations at some point. The main focus is rabies and altering pets to reduce the number of accidental litters and eventually reduce the population at the shelter.
    No, the unit will not come to your house. :)
    Please watch the website and Facebook page for further information, such as pricing and services!

    This is fabulous news!!! Where can I go to apply to work with the mobile spay/neuter van? I have several years of experience working on the Santa Fe Mobile spay/neuter van in New Mexico.

    Can’t wait to see the pricing and how this will help caregivers so desperately needing affordable (TNR) surgeries for the community cats they help and love! Pretty snazzy unit–thank you Animal Aid USA!

    So would you mind explaining how this works? Do you take your animal in to have it fixed and wait or come back and pick it up after a couple hrs and then take them home or what? What will be the cost?

    This is awesome!! How do I get you to come neuter my dog??

    Great unit. Hope it will be put to good use.

  14. EMD on December 26th, 2019 7:44 am

    Will this unit be taken to different neighborhoods on a regular basis. and if so, what will the charges be? Also, will it provide any other services? I am so glad for this if it helps people to have their pets spayed and neutered. This is so very needed to prevent so much animal suffering. So many animals suffer from out of control breeding.
