ABOUT US
The combined efforts of local rescue groups and Cabarrus Animal Control/Shelter can not solve the problem of neglect, abandonment and uncontrolled birth of unwanted companion animals. Our community must join their efforts and be part of the solution! Your donation to Spay It Forward will help fund the spay or neuter of a dog or cat, thus instantly preventing future offspring.
Spay It Forward is not a spay and neuter clinic.
Our organization ONLY assists in funding spay and neuter procedures
in North Carolina through generous gifts from our donors.
Mission
