Shelter Outreach Services (SOS)

Sos sterilized over 14,500 animals in 2022. The animals sterilized were animals in need including Shelter dogs and cats, barn cats, feral cats, dogs and cats from rescue groups and dogs and cats from families of low income. Sos provided access to veterinary care for these animal populations who would otherwise not have received veterinary Services. In august 2018, sos expanded its Services and now has the ability to have two teams on the road on any given day, allowing sos to meet the need and requests for high quality high volume spay neuter in our region. Sos is now able to hold 40-45 clinics per month as needed (up from 30 clinics per month). Sos is a model program on a national level and serves a large regional area in nys. Sos provides service for 10+ counties in the finger lakes, central ny and southern tier regions and beyond. Since program inception in 2003, sos has sterilized more than 194,500 animals.
