The Fix Clinic’s mission is to promote the welfare of pets and their guardians by providing accessible, affordable, and timely spay and neuter services in Livingston Parish. In addition, we are committed to supporting partner organizations with their foster programs, working collaboratively to reduce overpopulation, improve animal welfare, and ensure every pet has a chance to thrive in a loving home.

At Dog People of Livingston (DPOL), we envision a future where affordable medical services, education, fostering, transport, and adoption programs work together to end companion animal homelessness and overpopulation in our parish shelters and community.

Accessibility: Ensuring every pet owner has the opportunity to receive essential services, regardless of income or circumstance.
Inclusion: Welcoming all individuals and families, and fostering a compassionate community where every pet matters.

We’re dedicated to improving the welfare of pets and their families through affordable spay/neuter services, education, and community outreach.
By the Numbers:
From 2013-2024, thanks to key partnerships with like minded organizations, we facilitated 3,600+ spay/neuters. This included 1400+ DPoL adopted dogs, low income household pets through custom voucher programs and Corki’s Pack, and hundreds of surgeries, vaccines and microchips with Vet-a-go-go mobile and Kat Vet partnered MASH clinics.
These surgeries prevented an estimated 120.6 million unwanted births—helping to reduce pet overpopulation and keep more animals out of shelters
Our Impact
Why Spay/Neuter Matters
Prevents Overpopulation: One female dog and her offspring can produce up to 67,000 puppies in 6 years.
Reduces Shelter Intake: Fewer unwanted litters mean fewer pets surrendered to shelters.
Saves Lives: Lower intake reduces euthanasia rates in overcrowded shelters.
Promotes Health: Spayed/neutered pets are less likely to develop certain cancers and infections.
