Spay/Neuter Information

You can help STOP pet overpopulation and needless euthanasia � the solution starts at home � YOUR home. Please, No More Litters. See the many options available below for spaying or neutering your pet.

Your local veterinarian is always ready and waiting to assist you with spaying or neutering, providing microchip identification and all of the regular health care needs of your pet. However, if you need assistance with spaying or neutering, other options are available. These programs are possible only through the generosity and cooperation of our local veterinarians. Some of these programs have a limited number of spots or a limited time frame, and persons needing assistance with spaying or neutering are encouraged to sign up promptly.
