About us
In the mid-2000s, Southern Pines recognized the need for a systematic approach to reducing the number of unwanted pets in the Pine Belt area, and in July of 2009, the Southern Pines Spay & Neuter Clinic opened its doors to the public. Initially the clinic only offered high-quality, low-cost sterilization surgeries for cats and dogs. However, with help from grants and donors, the clinic has more recently been able to add affordable, basic wellness services such as vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and dentals (and more!) to the veterinary services that they offer PineBelt pet owners. In January of 2021, the clinic changed its name to Southern Pines Healthy Pet Clinic to better encompass the work being done for the community.
