About Us

 

The Fix A Friend Spay Neuter Clinic has been brought to you by The Miss Avis Davis Fund, PetSmart Charities®, State Farm & Adopt an Angel. We are a member of the National Spay Neuter Response Team and have been trained by the Humane Alliance.  The NSNRT's nationwide collective mission is to end the euthanasia of healthy companion animals in the US.

Adopt an Angel is a 501c3 charitable organization that was founded in 2004 to reduce euthanasia rates in our area shelters through aggressive spaying and neutering and through marathon adoption events. Since 2004, this group has rescued over 11,000 animals from area shelters and found them loving homes. However, during that same time period over 55,000 animals lost their lives due to pet overpopulation.

Kitten season

Adopt an Angel soon came to realize they could never rescue them all---there were too many animals and not enough loving homes.  

They found the solution was to create a high quality/high volume spay/neuter clinic. Fix a Friend Spay Neuter Clinic is the culmination of this lifelong dream.  It is intended to be a positive GAME CHANGER for homeless animals in Southeastern, NC.

Adopt an Angel is a recognized and honored community organization who has been chosen as a recipient of the Wilmington Fur Ball proceeds every year since 2007. The entire group was honored by the Voices of Consciousness of the Wilmington Star-News and also the Brunswick County Health Dept.
