Spay or Neuter Surgery for Dogs & Cats

• Surgeries for cats are offered every Thursday and Friday (excluding County holidays).
• If anyone other the owner is taking or picking up the cat for the surgery, they will be required to complete a form using the pet owner's name.
• Animal Services will continue to accommodate a limited number of walk-in spay/neuter surgeries on Thursdays and Fridays for cats only, in case those with an appointment do not come in.
• Maximum of four cats allowed per household.

Note: All cats must be presented for surgery in individual carriers. Putting multiple pets in one carrier does not allow for a safe post-operative environment and will not be accepted for services. Disposable carriers are available for purchase at the time of drop off.

• Drop off pets at 7 a.m. in Doral and 8 a.m. in Homestead.
• Pet owners should arrive with their pet in a crate or on a leash.
• The check-in process can take from 30-60 minutes so please plan accordingly on the day of the surgery appointment.
• After 8:30 a.m, all surgeries with appointments lose their priority status and become walk-ins subject to availability.

• It is up to the owner to provide an Elizabethan Collar or cone placed around the animal's neck if they want to outfit the animal with a collar after surgery. The Elizabethan Collar is not provided by ASD for wearing for protection after surgery but it can be purchased at the Pet Adoption and Protection Center.
• Pets must be picked up after the surgery. The Pet Adoption and Protection Center is not a boarding facility.

Sundays are available on a first-come, first-served basis for dogs only. It is recommended that owners arrive early as availability is limited.

Numbers are handed out between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. It is recommended to arrive early as surgeries take place on a first-come, first-served basis.

Surgeries are not performed on the third Sunday of the month.

In accordance to R-512-16, veterans who produce a DD-214 will be able to have their dog spayed or neutered at no charge.
