Haywood Spay/Neuter envisions a future where proper health care is available to every pet in Haywood County, regardless of owner income status. Spay and Neuter services are essential to the health of each dog or cat and greatly diminish the cycle of homeless and unwanted animals. Our wellness programs provide education, referral resources, and essential services to empower pet owners to give their companions the healthy, happy lives they deserve.
TRANSPORT UPDATE: Asheville's ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance is temporarily closed. We cannot post our November dates until they are again up and running. Our office is open sporadically due to limited staffing and accepting only cash for flea and tick medications. Please be patient during these trying times.
​
For those with October dates, we will be reaching out with updates early next week.
Hookworms
Similar to tapeworms and roundworms, hookworms are intestinal parasites that live in the digestive system of your dog or cat. The hookworm attaches to the lining of the intestinal wall and feeds on your pet's blood. Its eggs are ejected into the digestive tract and pass into the environment through your pet's feces.
​
Female hookworms pass hundreds of microscopic eggs in the feces of infected dogs and cats, where they contaminate the environment.
Your pet may become infected when it inadvertently swallows hookworm larvae, often by grooming its feet, or from sniffing feces or contaminated soil.

Haywood Spay Neuter is a 501C3 nonprofit that provides our community with low-cost spay/neuter services and animal wellness programs. We also provide flea and tick medicines at a low cost for those that need them. Spaying/neutering is the best way to combat the largest killer of cats and dogs- the euthanasia of unwanted, homeless animals.
