Spay/Neuter Appointment Required.
Other low cost services (vaccines, microchip) are offered every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from noon to 1 pm, no appointment necessary.
The Humane Society of the South Platte Valley believes in reducing pet overpopulation in our community. As part of our mission, we want every animal that leaves our facility through adoption to be spayed or neutered.
To support this effort, we established our spay/neuter clinic to serve both our shelter animals and to provide affordable spay and neuter services for the public.
If you are interested in scheduling an appointment before April 1st, please contact us at 303-703-2938. If you would like to schedule an appointment after April 1st, appointments can be scheduled online using the links below.
Surgical appointments are currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All procedures are performed by a licensed veterinarian, and every patient is carefully monitored while under anesthesia. Pain management is provided during surgery to ensure patient comfort.
All patients are sent home with three days of pain medication for post-operative care. Both cats and dogs will also go home with an e-collar to prevent licking or irritation of the incision site while healing.
