https://www.savingpawsandhooves.org/
Saving paws and hooves is a non-profit organization in Central Florida dedicated to saving and helping small and large animals that are in a life or death situation and there are no finances available for medical treatment.

It is vital that we are creating environments that are inspiring and uplifting to others in our area. While we are blessed to be able to have the passion and drive to save animals, we, in turn, create a ripple effect of happier and kind-hearted humans.

VOCAL Voices of Change Animal League
The VOCAL Community Clinic and Resource Center is the first of its kind in Marion County! In 2015, our founders, Linda Norman, Kate Rengel and Lauren Carpenter initially envisioned a low-cost spay neuter clinic to stop overpopulation at its source and to provide support for people who care for unwanted and under-resourced pets. Today, the VOCAL Community Clinic and Resource Center is often a lifeline to pet parents who need veterinary care for their animal, but find it prohibitively expensive.
Fix Them All provides access to quality low-cost spay and neuter for dogs and cats in North Central Florida through our surgery certificate program. You can choose to bring your pet to one of our participating veterinary clinics or use a pet transport program. The Schedules page of this site gives a summary of your options and dates of upcoming clinics and transports. The Veterinarians page has more detail about participating vets including their requirements and optional services. The Apply page has links to our online application and copayment.
The only way to truly reduce pet overpopulation is to FIX THEM ALL.
