Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Information
Thank you for your interest in having your dog or cat spayed/neutered by the SAHS! This surgery helps decrease the overwhelming number of unwanted pets in our city and improves your pet’s chances for a longer, healthier life. Spay/neuter services are available to the public by appointment only.
Is your pet eligible to be scheduled for their surgery appointment? Please note: all dogs and cats must be at least 8 weeks old and weigh at least 2 lbs. at the time of surgery.
We strongly recommend that you establish a relationship with a full-service veterinary clinic to ensure your pet gets continued care, including vaccine boosters, deworming, heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and all health issues NOT directly related to this surgery.
Low-cost spay/neuter surgeries are performed by the SAHS surgery team and performed at two locations: the SAHS at 4804 Fredericksburg Rd (at our new Leeu Naylor Medical Building next to the shelter.) and the Brooks Spay/Neuter Clinic at 8034 City Base Landing.

Feral cats must be brought in at check-in (7:15 am) in an approved trap (All feral traps doors must be secured with either a carabiner or pipe cleaner. Zip ties will not be accepted.). All feral cats will receive a permanent green tattoo on their abdomen as well as an ear tip to designate sterilized status. We cannot accept feral cats for surgery if they are not in an approved feral cat trap as they are a danger to themselves and our staff. If you have not attended a feral cat trapping training class, please do not attempt to trap feral cats on your own or bring them in an inappropriate carrier. This only creates added stress to the cat, and we will not be able to perform surgery. Learn more info about local feral cat groups/training classes.
