Potter League Acquires RI Community Spay and Neuter Clinic

MIDDLETOWN, RI — The Potter League for Animals announced Tuesday that it has acquired the Rhode Island Community Spay and Neuter Clinic in Warwick. The merged company will be called "Potter League Spay and Neuter Clinic."

"This spay and neuter clinic is the keystone that animal welfare progress has been built upon in Rhode Island for nearly a decade," said Brad Shear, executive director of Potter League for Animals. "We are proud to have taken on the stewardship of this vital institution so the important work being done here can continue long into the future."

The clinic was founded in 2010 and provides spay and neuter services to pets and feral animals at a low cost and high volume. Since its opening, the clinic has performed over 60,000 procedures. Animals who can not be brought to the clinic by their owners can be picked up in the clinic's van.

Under the ownership of the Potter League, the clinic will continue to serve more than 70 shelters, rescues and other organizations across the state.

"While the Potter League for Animals has operated as an animal care center offering programs and services such as adoption, humane education, dog training, and other low-cost outreach programs, offering subsidized spay and neuter has always been part of our mission, furthering our commitment to a standard of excellence to the community and making a difference in the lives of animals," read a statement from the organization.
