Otter's Ark

Welcome to the Clinic

Approximately 2.4 million healthy, adoptable cats and dogs—about one every 13 seconds—are put down in U.S. shelters each year due to overpopulation. Often these animals are the offspring of family pets. Spay/neuter is a proven way to reduce pet overpopulation, ensuring that every pet has a family to love them.

Services we offer

We at Otter's Ark believe that having a family pet is a joy and we want everyone to be able to afford the care necessary to keep our pets happy and healthy. We believe that prevention and education is key and while we started with a specific goal of spay/ neuter/vaccine clinic, we have listened to the needs of the community and have incorporated other services. Our goal is to prevent overpopulation and disease by education and providing affordable, high quality care. We love our community and we love what we do, and we want to be here for all your pets needs.

In addition to spay and neuter, Otter's Ark provides heartworm testing, Leukemia/ FIV testing for cats, flea , prescription tick and heartworm medication and microchipping. We also offer an in house grooming service, nail trims, and routine dental cleanings ( by appointment)

We carry Nexgard, Trifexis, Iverhart Max, Cheristin, Revolution and multiple deworming medications for both cats and dogs.

We can see pets that are sick or have been injured, but we are limited to what services we currently provide, so please call first if you have any questions on what we can offer and we will be happy to help.

Facts about Pet Overpopulation in the U.S.

Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home
The main reasons animals are in shelters: owners give them up, or animal control finds them on the street.
Homeless animals outnumber homeless people 5 to 1.
Each year, approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren’t enough adoptive homes. Act as a publicist for your local shelter so pets can find homes.
Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats.
It’s impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States. Estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
Only 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered. Overpopulation, due to owners letting their pets accidentally or intentionally reproduce, sees millions of these “excess” animals killed annually.
Many strays are lost pets that were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification.
