 The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation was founded in 2010 as a call to action when the town decided itcould no longer care for the animals at the town shelter premises. Not onlywere the 225 animals currently housed there in jeopardy, so were all othersthat would be found.  The Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation offers a low-cost spay/neuter clinic to help combat pet overpopulation. Allprivately owned pit bull type dogs are spayed or neutered free of charge.  Dog obedience classes are also offered to the public.
