Spay & Neuter Clinic

Dogwood Animal Shelter is proud to offer low-cost spay/neuter services. However, our clinic is not a replacement for a relationship with a full-service veterinarian, and we are only able to offer a limited selection of services. For the long-term health and happiness of your pet, we recommend regular visits to a full-service veterinarian office.


​

Scheduling

As required by law, pets must be up-to-date on their rabies vaccine before undergoing surgery. If applicable, please bring a copy of your pet's rabies certificate with you on the day of your appointment, otherwise, we will have to administer the rabies vaccine for $30 the day of surgery.

​

Surgery Restrictions are:

  • Dogs must weigh a minimum of 10 lbs. and cats must weigh a minimum of 4 lbs.

  • All animals must be at least 3 months for neutering, and 4 months for spaying.

  • Animals cannot have a squished face.

  • No dogs over 80 lbs.

​

Spay and neuter pricing can be found below.

​

To set up a Spay/Neuter appointment for your pet, call the shelter at 573-348-4411 and speak to someone in Animal Services.
