EveryPet announced that its clinic on Norwood Avenue is now offering free spay and neuter surgeries through a new program called “Operation Big Fix.”<\/a><\/p>\n The clinic already provided free surgeries for community cats<\/a> and certain low-income or government-assisted pet owners<\/a>, but Operation Big Fix greatly expands eligibility.<\/p>\n The clinic said it was able to create the program using new funding from Dogs Trust, a dog welfare charity.<\/p>\n The announcement comes after a busy year for Jacksonville animal shelters.
