Please read before booking! We have very limited public appointments at this time and do our best to provide them to pets and their owners most in need. We respectfully ask that if you are able to afford a traditional veterinary provider, you seek a spay/neuter appointment with them. We appreciate your consideration.
If you are finding it difficult to get an appointment directly through us, please see the Directions tab (above) for partner organizations who also offer spay/neuter appointments.
ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance adheres to the standards for Spay/Neuter Medical Care Guidelines developed in 2008, and updated in 2016, by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians' Veterinary Task Force to Advance Spay/Neuter.
