Low cost spay and neuter clinic opens

The long-awaited Snip City Branson is now open.

Snip City Branson is the new, low cost spay and neuter clinic operated by the Branson Humane Society and located adjacent to their adoption center on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway.  

Snip City welcomes two esteemed veterinarans to their team. Dr. Kelsey Keisker is the operation's lead veterinarian.  She will perform the low cost spay and neuter procedures as part of the Bissell Pet Foundation Fix the Future initiative. Dr. David Prigel will also be performing spays and neuters a few days each month.

Holly and Shelby are also a part of the Snip City staff, serving as surgical technicians.  

"'While we are eager to begin serving the community, we'll first focus on spaying and neutering rescue animals from our own shelter, Taney County Animal Control and the Tri Lakes Humane Society," said the Humane Society in a Facebook post. "This will help us ensure our surgical flow is efficient and safe before we begin accepting public appointments."

The post continued, "We appreciate your patience and understanding as we get up and running.  Our goal is to provide affordable spay and neuter surgeries to help eliminate as many unwanted litters as possible. We are very thankful to Bissell Pet Foundation and their program Fix the Future for sponsoring the surgeries and helping get the clinic started."
