The Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic is the largest free and low-cost spay/neuter clinic in the Chicago Area, and one of the largest in the country.
Welcome to the free and low-cost Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic!
In 2009, PAWS Chicago performed more than 16,000 surgeries, the majority of which are free for Chicago families on public assistance. PAWS Chicago also offers low-cost surgeries for under-resourced individuals and families who have the greatest need.
Mission
PAWS Chicago envisions a no-kill Chicago–a city in which pets are not destroyed just because they are homeless. The only way to control dog and cat overpopulation and the killing of adoptable animals is by decreasing birth rates. This is why we opened the Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic – the only spay and neuter clinic of its kind located in and serving Chicago’s underserved communities.
