Spay/Neuter
The single most important thing you can do to prevent overpopulation, animal cruelty, and neglect is to spay/neuter your pet. This is an act of compassion that moves us one step closer to a community with no unwanted or homeless animals.
HSLC has partnered with local veterinarians to offer a discounted fee for residents of Loudoun County to encourage and assist with spay and/or neuter of dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Coming Soon!!! “Snip Trip” will soon be available for Loudoun County residents and will provide a lower cost spay/neuter option. Snip Trip will initially begin with cats only. Cats will be transported in a safe, secure transport bus to the Shenandoah Spay/Neuter Clinic in Harrisonburg, VA where they will receive their surgery and vaccinations.
Program Rules:
1. Recipient is a resident of Loudoun County, VA.
2. Recipient should contact the chosen veterinarian prior to purchase to discuss fees and requirements. Each veterinarian may determine their recommended procedures/fees.
3. The certificates entitle recipient’s animal to anesthesia and spay/neuter surgery ONLY. This certificate does not include vaccines, pain medications or any blood or other laboratory tests that may be required or recommended by the participating veterinarian.
