Spay & neuter
No more puppies! (Yep, as cute as they are, we don't need any more of them). Spaying and neutering is fundamental to reducing our homeless pet populations. Thanks for helping us do our part.
Locations
We have partnerships with spay/neuter clinics in Mountain View, San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland. You can see a list of our partner vets here.
Timing
Drop off is typically first thing in the morning and pick up is at the end of the business day.
Cost
We pay for the surgery and vaccinations when done at a partner clinic. Fosters should never have to pay any portion of the bill. If you’re asked to cover any payment, please decline and have the vet contact us.
Post-surgery
You'll want to watch your foster pup closely to make sure they aren't licking or chewing at their incision site. Excessive redness or other signs of infection is a good reason to contact us (snap a photo and email it to us). If you don't have a cone to use to keep them from messing with their incision site, you can use a towel to make an e-collar. Video instructions here.
When it's time for the stitches to come out and they aren't dissolvable, you can do it yourself with some nail clippers, we can at an adoption event, or the vet technician could do it for no charge.
