About Major Mike Shipley Spay & Neuter Clinic in Cookeville, TN
The Major Mike Shipley Spay & Neuter Clinic is a Cookeville nonprofit dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation in Putnam County and the surrounding Upper Cumberland region through low-cost and subsidized spay and neuter surgeries. The clinic exists specifically to make these critical procedures accessible to pet owners who might not be able to afford a full-service veterinary practice - removing one of the most common barriers to responsible pet ownership. Named in honor of a local hero, the clinic operates as a community resource, partnering with animal welfare organizations to place animals and reduce intake at local shelters. If cost has been the reason you've put off fixing your pet, this is the resource to call.
