Local pet owners now have another option when it comes to spaying or neutering their pets.

The Central Oklahoma Humane Society, or OK Humane, has opened the OK Humane Place Spay/Neuter Clinic with the goal of getting better control of the state’s pet population.

Last year, the animal shelter on SE 29 euthanized 17,600 dogs and cats, said Christy Counts, executive director for OK Humane. The new clinic at 4522 NW 16 will help drive the Humane Society’s goal of making Oklahoma City a "no kill city” for shelter pets.

"People think that if they find good homes for puppies their dog had, that that’s being responsible, but that’s not the case,” Counts said. "Those puppies have puppies, and then those puppies have puppies, and then some of those animals wind up getting euthanized.”

As part of Humane Alliance based out of Asheville, N.C., the OK Humane Place clinic gives a new, low-cost option for pet owners to help keep the pet population under better control.
