World Spay Day is an annual campaign of The HSUS and Humane Society International that shines a spotlight on spay/neuter—a proven way to save the lives of companion animals, feral cats, and street dogs who might otherwise be put down in a shelter or killed on the street.
It's World Spay Day Time!
World Spay Day is officially the last Tuesday of February, but you can find (or hold your own) events around the world throughout February, Spay/Neuter Awareness Month.
