AnimalWorks was founded in 2001 as a 501©(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to offering affordable high quality spay and neuter services to the community. From 2001 to 2011 AnimalWorks also served as an adoption center, placing more than 5,500 cats and dogs into loving homes. In 2011, AnimalWorks re-focused their core mission entirely on providing spay-neuter services to the community. AnimaWorks has performed over 28,000 spay-neuter surgeries to date.
