After being traumatized by working for an overcrowded shelter forced to euthanize healthy dogs and cats, I'm now building affordable, convenient spay and neuter clinics—so we can prevent overpopulation instead of managing its consequences.

Hi! I’m Danna Stillman!

About me

I founded the TNR PRO Hero Foundation to confront the global dog and cat overpopulation crisis by developing and building critical, scalable, humane infrastructure through public/private partnerships.

Drawing on years of hands-on TNVR experience, advanced certifications, and my service on the Miami Beach Animal Welfare Committee, I am developing replicable High-Quality, High-Volume Spay/Neuter (HQHVSN) clinics that deliver efficient, affordable sterilization at the volume needed to create lasting population change.

Starting right here in South Florida, we are working to create a flagship clinic and training center that will serve as a proven model for communities everywhere—empowering targeted TNVR programs, ending cycles of suffering, protecting public health and wildlife, and inviting others to join us in building the world’s largest coordinated spay-and-neuter movement.
