Spay & Neuter Programs

Programs to spay/neuter animals at little to no cost

Donating just $25 can help pets like me go from the shelter to spoiled rotten!

LOHS is able to offer a low-cost spay/neuter program for our community.

The cost for a spay/neuter is $30 for an owned cat and $50-60 for a dog (depending on size). Feral or unowned (community) cats will be spayed/neutered at no charge.

The surgeries are performed weekly at the Athens Area Humane Society at 1030 Mitchell Bridge Road, Athens GA 30606. A rabies vaccination is required by law for all dogs and cats and can be provided at the time of surgery for $20.

If the owner does not want a rabies vaccination, they will need to provide a certificate of vaccination from their veterinarian (we cannot accept a rabies tag as proof of vaccination). We are not able to offer vaccinations or services independent of the spay/neuter surgery.

Feral cats will have their ear tipped at surgery, so the cat can be identified as being spayed/neutered, and rabies vaccinations are free for feral cats.

Our spay and neuter programs are made possible with the support of our donors and:

The Georgia Pet Foundation Program

This spay/neuter program is offered through a grant provided by Georgia Pet Foundation. Residents who request Georgia license plates with the Georgia Pet Foundation logo help make programs like this possible.

The Fix Georgia Pets Program

The money supporting these activities is provided to LOHS through a grant provided by Fix Georgia Pets, an organization whose mission is to focus on spay/neuter as a means to end overpopulation and senseless euthanasia of animals in Georgia.
