Spay and Neuter

We are partnering with Petfix Northeast Ohio (Euclid) to make low-cost spay/neuter services for dogs and cats accessible to pet parents in Ashtabula County (and close vicinity).

We provide FREE transportation to/from the clinic. If you wish to drive your pet yourself, please contact PetFix directly to make an appointment: 216-732-7040.

The spay neuter services are available to all pet parents - you do not need to be low-income to register your dog or cat. FEE INFORMATION.

For pet parents qualifying as low-income/public assistance (proof needed) the fee for a dog or cat (male or female) is $26 - which includes the surgery + rabies vaccination. See qualification details below.

Willowick Food Pantry , (440)520-4881 , has a free S/N program for those who qualify. You can still schedule transportation with us.
