Mountain View Humane

Mountain View Humane (MVH)

Mountain View Humane is a high-quality, affordable spay/neuter and pet wellness clinic in Christiansburg, Virginia. 93,316 spay/neuter surgeries have been performed on dogs and cats since our inception as a 501(c)3 organization in 2010. We strive to end pet overpopulation in southwest Virginia through spay/neuter surgery for companion pets as well as community cats. 

Mountain View Humane raises funds to subsidize surgery costs for roughly 25% of our pet owners and 100% of the feral cats brought to MVH. We provide subsidies to qualified individuals to reduce our already low fees and ensure that every responsible pet owner is able to afford our vital services, regardless of their ability to pay.

How Your Donations Help

We work hard to ensure our clinic uses best practices for your pet’s health and safety. Having performed more than 90,000 surgeries to date, some of our equipment is showing signs of normal wear and tear and will need replaced soon. Any downtime in our surgical equipment can result in fewer spay/neuter surgeries, which in turn results in more homeless pets being born.

This equipment is not cheap. We are in real need of new surgical lights and new surgical lift tables. Each costs around $4,000 and you can see examples here: https://www.medicaldevicedepot.com/MI-750-LED-Exam-Lighting-p/mi750.htm and here: https://www.pattersonvet.com/ProductItem/078075336 

In addition, your contribution can help provide vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, and even pet food to those pets in need in our region. Your donations will allow us to keep our operations going at full capacity and to help more pets in our community live their healthiest lives! Thank you!

Spay and Neuter

Spay/neuter is a simple solution to the complex problem of the euthanasia epidemic, which destroys 2.7 million animals each year and is a direct result of animals left unaltered in communities. We strive to sterilize any dog or cat that needs it, regardless of the owner's ability to pay. 

Benefits of Spay and Neuter

• Your pets will live longer, healthier lives. Did you know spay and neuter can prevent many diseases and behavior issues with your companion animals?
• Breast cancer in your female dog is nearly eliminated if she is spayed before her 1st heat cycle. Even if she is spayed after her first cycle, spaying reduces the risk of cancer.
• Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer, perianal tumors, and some prostate problems.
• Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. 
• Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home.
• Spay and neuter helps to reduce uterine infections.
