Spay/Neuter Clinic

Please do not hesitate to reach out via email at spayneuter@humanesocietysoco.org or give us a call at (707) 284-3499 if you have any questions.  If we are unable to answer the phone, we will give you a call back if you leave your name and number. For a faster response time, please email. Thank you for your patience as we continue to respond to the volume of community needs!

To use our facility, pet owners must be 18 years of age or older and be a resident of Sonoma County. This clinic is a donor- and grant-funded program providing low-cost spay and neuter services to families who cannot afford area veterinary services. If this does not describe your family, please contact area veterinarians for spay/neuter services.

Please Note the Following:

  • All paperwork will be sent to you via email prior to your appointment. If you are unable to print and fill it out in advance, it will be provided to you at intake.
  • Discharge instructions will also be sent to you in advance; please review these before the day of your pet’s surgery.
  • Check-in times will be staggered. Your scheduled appointment time will be your check-in time.
  • PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME or you may have to wait until all other check-ins are completed.

When You Arrive for Your Scheduled Appointment:

  • Park in one of the parking spaces in front of the clinic.
  • Leave your animal(s) in the car and approach the check-in table. All pets must remain in your car until a staff member has instructed you otherwise.
  • Please make sure cats are in carriers and dogs are on leash.
  • Some dogs may be fearful of being approached by an unknown person wearing a mask; we will work with you to safely get your dog out of the car and into the clinic.
