Hi, my name is Sue. If you're looking for laid-back and easy to please, then I'm your girl! I definitely like to play and be silly, but more often than not, you'll catch me chilling out in a comfy bed. I can be a bit shy when I meet new people, but I'll warm up to you quickly once I feel comfortable. Can we be best friends forever? Please adopt me today!
The Greater Birmingham Humane Society encourages all pet owners to have their pet spayed or neutered. Altering or “fixing” pets is the only proven method to ending the senseless euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in our community.
Starting February 23, 2010, the GBHS and Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic are joining forces to offer the SNIP, or Spay/Neuter Incentive Program, a low-cost spay and neuter program based on financial need for residents of the Greater Birmingham community. Qualification for participation in the SNIP entitles each individual up to three-$25 reductions on a spay or neuter surgery at the Alabama Spay/Neuter Clinic located in Irondale, AL. This program is designed for owners who need financial assistance in spaying or neutering owned pets. Learn more about SNIP today! If you do not qualify for the SNIP, other low-cost spay and neuter options are listed below.
Please review the following spay or neuter resources below and make an appointment to have your pet altered today!
