About Pet Partners
Pet Partners was founded by a group of
co-workers and volunteers with years of animal shelter experience.
Their desire was to put an end to the senseless euthanasia of
perfectly adoptable companion animals. Overpopulation was seen as the
problem and setting up a spay/ neuter clinic to be the answer. Since
attaining non-profit status in December 2000, the clinic has
performed over 7,000 surgeries.
The organization also seeks to promote
responsible pet ownership through education and affordable basic
wellness services. The clinic has seen over 13,000 pets in our wellness clinic.

Advocates, Faxon Animal Rescue League, Habitat for Cats , and The
Humane Coalition.
