Before you make your appointment

  • We offer spay/neuter surgeries for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens to qualifying low-income individuals only. You will have to answer a series of questions to determine if your household is qualified under the low-income guidelines. See the household income chart below, and if you qualify, proceed with making your appointment.
  • Review the fees to be sure you can cover the cost of the services. We do not accept spay/neuter vouchers and only accept credit, debit, or cash (no checks).
  • Please note: we are located in Lynnwood, Washington—approximately 20 miles north of Seattle. You must be able to provide your own transportation.
