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: All of our transports for April & May are full. We will release our June dates on May 1st. Due to staff shortages, the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance reduced the number of surgeries they can perform so we book up quickly, especially for female dogs.
​
​
In cooperation with Sarge's Animal Rescue , we now offer free dog food. Please stop by our office to pick some up.
LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM

Everyone must make advance reservations (at our office) as there are a limited number of spaces available on each transport. Due to the high demand for our services, we cannot except out of county residents at this time. Please bring proof of income with you (if not paying full price) when you are signing up.
