Robinson's Rescue Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

In 2005, a group of concerned citizens of Shreveport began meeting regularly to learn about the best practices in other communities that successfully lowered pet overpopulation and, in turn, the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets. After conducting extensive research, they learned that spay/neuter initiatives have proven to be the most effective, humane means to decrease pet overpopulation and determined that a low-cost, high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter clinic was the answer. Thus, on September 15, 2008, Robinson's Rescue was founded as the first clinic of its kind in the state of Louisiana and one of only 190 ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance clinics in all of the United States.

Since 2008, Robinson’s Rescue has provided over 99,000 affordable spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs—and in 2025, we’re thrilled to celebrate our 100,000th surgery!  Our work has prevented the birth of millions of unwanted puppies and kittens across Northwest Louisiana, dramatically reducing shelter intake and euthanasia rates. By eliminating financial barriers through low-cost pricing and vital support from individual donors and grant funding, we ensure every pet owner has access to these essential, life-saving services.

We operate 3 separate programs to realize our mission:

The first program we operate is our low-cost spay/neuter program, which is available to any pet-owner regardless of income. Secondly, we operate a free spay/neuter program called the Subsidized Spay/Neuter Incentive Program (SSNIP), which provides pets owned by local, low-income residents with free spay/neuter and rabies vaccinations. Finally, we operate a Community Outreach Program in which we participate in local animal wellness and animal-related information fairs in order to educate local residents about spay/neuter and provide them with applications for free spay/neuter through SSNIP.
