About Us

EmanciPet, Inc., founded in 1999, is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas. EmanciPET is dedicated to preventing animal homelessness and putting an end to euthanasia as a means of population control by providing low-cost or free surgical sterilization of dogs and cats. This website is designed to inform pet owners (and future pet owners) about our services and raise awareness about the pet overpopulation problem in Austin and the spay/neuter solution. In the city of Austin alone, almost 1,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each month! If more pet owners had their pets spayed or neutered, the number of animals euthanized would decrease. If you own a dog or cat, we urge you to join us in combating animal overpopulation and euthanasia by having your pet spayed or neutered.
