Our Spay and Neuter Program
K-9 is proud to help in controlling the pet population by having our dogs spayed or neutered. If you adopt a puppy from our organization that is 6 months and younger, K-9 Lifesavers will cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet or reimburse you for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet. We are one of very few local dog rescues to provide this benefit.
Request for Spay or Neuter
Please use the below form to request a spay/neuter certificate for a puppy/dog adopted from our organization after June 14th, 2021. You can look up all the information needed to fill out the form, including the “spay/neuter by” date, on your copy of the adoption agreement received at the time of adoption. Please note that you will need the pup’s K-9 Lifesavers given name at the time of adoption and rescue ID code located at the bottom of the contract to submit the form. Once submitted, a representative will send you a spay/neuter certificate for the partner vet you select so you can schedule the appointment directly. Please allow at least one week for your certificate to be sent via email. Once you receive the certificate, please contact the selected vet 5-8 weeks prior to the “spay/neuter by” date on your certificate. When scheduling your appointment please use the pup’s K9 Lifesavers given name and make sure you indicate you will be using a K9 Lifesavers certificate to pay for the surgery.
Please note, K-9 Lifesavers only covers the cost of spay/neuter and associated medicine. Anything additional, such as microchip or cone, is the financial responsibility of the adopter. K9 Lifesavers does not cover the cost of spay/neuter or reimbursement for spay/neuter for pets adopted from other organizations or puppies adopted from our organization prior to June 14th, 2021.
Please note the rescue discount, in most cases, is significantly lower than your personal vet and K-9 Lifesavers will cover no more than $80 of your vet bill per neuter or spay if you choose not to use our partners.
Request Reimbursement
If you are opting to use your own vet for spay/neuter, please fill out the form below to request reimbursement of $80.00 by selecting the radio button “using my own veterinarian” under the Location section. At the same time, please submit a proof of spay/neuter receipt from your vet and request for reimbursement to spayneuterscheduling@k-9lifesavers.org.
In the email, please note the dogs K9 Lifesavers name so it can be connected to the form easily and ensure a timely reimbursement.
If you do not hear back within 1 week period, please email us again to make sure your submission was received.
