Delivery Systems

Across the country, the need for accessible spay/neuter services continues to grow. Veterinary workforce shortages, rising costs, and changing clinic ownership models have created new challenges.

The good news? There are still many ways to expand access to spay/neuter services–no matter your background or starting point.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The most successful efforts are often built on layered or hybrid approaches that combine different models to meet community needs. That’s why we created our Delivery Systems series – to help you explore proven models, weigh important considerations, and find the right fit for your goals, resources, and local conditions.

Explore the Models:

• Brick-and-Mortar HQHVSN Clinics
  • Permanent clinics offering consistent, high-quality, high-volume services to the public and rescue partners.
