Animal Humane Society's Community Outreach program works to connect people with pets to the resources they need to provide their animals with happy, healthy lives.
Below are some frequently asked questions about the Outreach program.
The $25 spay and neuter program was discontinued on August 1, 2020. We have transitioned to a more sustainable way of offering the community high-quality, low-cost veterinary services with two fee tiers based on income.
Our goal is to expand access to affordable veterinary care by eliminating our previous program boundaries, and allowing more people access to these great services. This change was made in conjunction with the opening of our new St. Paul Vet Center at 1159 University Ave.
Qualification is based on annual income. Refer to our Veterinary Center fees and eligibility to determine if you qualify for standard or reduced pricing based on your annual income.
To sign-up for spay/neuter surgery, review our spay/neuter services page and complete a request form.
We will no longer be offering transportation services to the Vet Center. If you need transportation assistance to your appointment, reach out to one of these local resources.
