Spay & Neuter Intermountain Pets & Pet Placement, or SNIPPP , is a no-kill animal welfare organization based in Northeastern California whose mission is to address the issues related to companion animal overpopulation through: funding a spay/neuter assistance program; community education; rescue & placement of at-risk animals. We serve the communities of the Intermountain Area including Northeastern Shasta County and adjoining areas in Modoc and Lassen Counties. We are a California non-profit organization, staffed exclusively by volunteers, and governed by a Board of Directors. Our meetings are public, and we encourage community members to join us in our mission. SNIPPP makes sure that rescued animals receive appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention, and medical treatment, if needed. SNIPPP pets are spayed or neutered before being available for adoption, unless they are still too young. In that case we charge a $50 refundable deposit and require that proof of being altered be sent to SNIPPP. Most of our animals are microchipped. SNIPPP volunteers place companion animals in temporary foster homes and seek permanent homes for them through various means, like the online listings on our website. SNIPPP outreach provides spay and neuter help for community members in our service area who need assistance to alter their companion animals.
