Why did C-SNIP start?
C-SNIP was formed in late 1998 by a small group of individuals who wanted to address the need for a reduced-fee dog and cat sterilization clinic open to the public. To make the service accessible to all, they decided on a mobile unit. Other local organizations were doing a fine job with sheltering and adoption programs, but were unable to devote much of their budget to prevention. Sadly, they were forced to euthanize thousands of dogs and cats each year because there were simply more animals than could be absorbed by the community.
