Our New
Affordable
Spay and Neuter Clinic
Welcome to the future of vet care in Santa Rosa County.
Introducing Snip Happens - A HOPE’s new high-volume, affordable spay and neuter clinic built to serve the animals who need it most.
We’re building something bold: a 4,000+ sqft, custom-designed facility to bring low-cost, high-quality care to the community.
💬 Note: We’re not scheduling appointments just yet. Our team is deep in training, and we’re still navigating county permits and construction costs before we can open doors. Stay tuned.

All You Need to Know About A HOPE's New Spay and Neuter Clinic in Santa Rosa County Florida
Our Clinic
Our Community
This moment is pivotal for pet care in the Florida Panhandle. Along with rising costs and inflation, the need for affordable veterinary care in Santa Rosa County, FL, has never been more evident.
To date, our efforts have centered on providing spay/neuter services and medical transport for cats and dogs. Our dedicated team transports local animals on a 5-hour round trip drive to Operation Spay Bay in Panama City, the nearest affordable vet clinic.
Building a local veterinary clinic will enable us to extend our reach, helping more pets in need and saving more lives.
The groundwork has been laid: the site is primed, plans are in place, and we're poised to start. What we need now is your support to bring this vision to life.

Common Questions and Why We Need a Spay/Neuter Clinic
Clinic Progress
Updated February 26, 2025
Seven years. A million dollars. Countless hours of hard work, passion, and determination.
This clinic has been built with love—by volunteers, by donors, by a community that believes in a better future for animals. And now, we are standing at the finish line, so close to opening our doors.
But the reality? We can’t open yet.
Even though the building is standing, the equipment is in place, and our team is ready to serve, there are still critical infrastructure pieces that must be completed before we can legally open and start saving lives.
These aren’t luxuries. They aren’t optional. They are the final, required steps we must take to get our occupancy permit—the last official approval we need before we can start providing low-cost spay/neuter and wellness services to our community.
What We Still Need to Finish
✔ Driveway and parking lot – $100,000
✔ Septic system installation – $20,000
✔ Drainage, retention pond, and sod – $49,500
✔ Final closeout requirements – $16,000
Until these are completed, our doors must remain closed.
They aren’t optional.
We’re Asking for Big Help from Big Hearts
Our community has already given so much. So many of you have supported, shared, and believed in this mission from the very beginning. We see you. We appreciate you. And now, we need you one last time.
Can you help us finish this? Here’s how:
- Donate – Every dollar brings us closer to opening.
- Host a Fundraiser – Turn your birthday, girls’ night, or work event into something bigger.
- Round Up at Checkout – Business owners, will you allow customers to round up their total to support A HOPE?
- Connect Us with Grantors & Sponsors – Do you know a company or foundation that helps nonprofits? Introduce us!
- Invite Us to Speak – We’d love to share our mission at your workplace, club, or organization.
This clinic has taken seven years to build. We are so close. We just need these final pieces to fall into place.
So we’re asking—if you’ve ever believed in this mission, if you want to see fewer homeless pets suffering, if you want to make a real, lasting impact in your community… now is the time.
