Spay/neuter services

Three kittens sit curled up together

Every day, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in the United States. More than 60 percent of them are unwanted and will be abandoned, often brought to a shelter or rescue organization. We believe animals in our community deserve better.

Spay/neuter efforts dramatically reduce the number of animals that need homes. That's why we spay or neuter every dog, cat, and rabbit in our care before they're adopted.

In addition to managing population, spaying or neutering your pet improves health and wellness and diminishes certain undesirable behaviors.

Animal Humane Society Veterinary Centers

Animal Humane Society Veterinary Centers provide low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter services to animal rescue groups and pets of people in need.

Our Veterinary Centers perform thousands of spay/neuter surgeries each year at our clinics in Golden Valley and St. Paul.
