If you are on public assistance, also bring a valid government issued ID. This is required by the NC State Spay/Neuter Fund. Haywood Spay/Neuter does not limit services based on income. If your pet already had a rabies shot, you must bring your rabies certificate as proof when you make your advance reservation. All client information is confidential.
