If you have any questions about scheduling a spay or neuter appointment for your animal, please call the Pet Resource Center any day from 9am to 6pm at 785-371-0473 or email help@lhs.bluesym7.work.
The Lawrence Humane Society believes spaying or neutering your dog or cat is part of responsible pet ownership. By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re doing your part to help control the pet homelessness crisis. There are also medical and behavioral benefits for your animals! Every pet owner should have access to these services, regardless of income. That’s why our expert medical team is proud to offer low-cost spay/neuter services to our community.
When you come to Lawrence Humane Society to spay or neuter your pet, you’ll only have to make one visit. There is no pre-surgical procedure and you do not need to come back for stitch removal, as we use fully dissolvable sutures. You will be able to leave with your dog or cat the same day you bring them!
Your pet must be at least 8 weeks old.
Please do not feed your pet after 8pm the night before your appointment
Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life. Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases.
Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.
Your spayed female pet won’t go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!
Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house. Once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other male animals.
Your neutered male may be better behaved. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering.
Spaying/neutering your pets is also highly cost-effective. The cost of your pet’s spay/neuter surgery is far less than the cost of having and caring for a litter.
