Spay and Neuter Pricing

The most effective way to end the senseless killing of innocent animals is to ensure everyone has access to free or low-cost spay/neuter services.

Standard Rates

ARC's mission is to provide access to affordable spay/neuter surgeries and veterinary services. The pricing levels are based on household family income as well as animal weight for dog patients.  All patients must provide the first page of Tax Form 1040 as proof of gross income.  If this form is not produced, patients will automatically be charged our Standard Rate.  Other proof of income is social security disability documentation or proof of government assistance.  A drivers license which matches the name and address on the paperwork must also be provided.

Please note we have a weight limit of 100 lbs for dogs.
* A $50 deposit is required to book your pet's appointment. This deposit will go towards the price of the surgery*
