Find out Why You Should Spay/Neuter Pets
Frequently asked Questions about Spay/Neuter

It is important to prevent unwanted and unplanned litters of puppies and kittens. Over 8,000 cats and dogs will be euthanized this year at the Farmington and Aztec Animal Shelters because there are not enough homes for them. Pets 4 to 6 months old can be spayed or neutered. Female dogs and cats can become pregnant between 4 and 7 months old. Local veterinarians require that the animal be current on their vaccinations, or have them at the time of surgery. San Juan Animal League offers 8 low-cost vaccination clinics a year.

If you cannot afford to have your dog or cat spayed/neutered, the San Juan Animal League may be able to assist you with a portion of the cost of having your pet spayed or neutered. The League provides rebates for individuals/families who are in financial need. Please print and fill out the application and return the application to:

Once we receive your application, it will be reviewed to determine eligibility. A representative will telephone you to let you know whether the application has been accepted or not. Once approved, you need to make a veterinarian appointment within 60 days of the telephone call to have the animal spayed or neutered. Shop around since the cost of surgeries vary widely between veterinarians. The applicant is expected to pay all costs to the veterinarian upon services rendered. The applicant then needs to send a copy of the receipt to the above address, in order to be reimbursed. Rebates are generally mailed out within two weeks of receiving the receipt.
