Schedule an Appointment
PLEASE NOTE: Humane Ohio spays or neuters animals by appointment only.
The current demand for low-cost spay/neuter services far exceeds what Humane Ohio is able to supply for the community. We understand your frustration, but we are so appreciative of your patience and understanding while we do our best to provide quality spay/neuter that our community deserves. Online scheduling is still available when openings allow, at the button to the right, via our Contact page.

If there is not an appointment available, please check back as we open new appointments regularly. There is a VERY HIGH demand for affordable spay/neuter in our community, and we are doing our very best to spay/neuter as many animals as possible with our limited staffing.
Spay/neuter surgeries are performed Monday through Friday. For drop-off and pick-up times, see our Pre-Operative Instructions page.
Humane Ohio will spay/neuter kittens and puppies when they've reached 2-4 lbs in weight (usually 8-12 weeks old depending on the breed). It's a myth that you can't spay/neuter kittens and puppies when they're so young - they actually bounce back from spay/neuter surgery very quickly. Pediatric Spay/Neuter is considered safe and can be less stressful on the animal than waiting until they're older.
Senior animals can be safely anesthetized by taking a few precautions. First, we request that dogs and cats eight years and older have bloodwork drawn at their regular veterinarian prior to their spay/neuter appointment. The recommended pre-surgical bloodwork is a complete blood count (CBC) and chemistry panel (Chem panel). This bloodwork checks organ function, particularly that of the liver and kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys process and eliminate medications such as anesthesia from the body, if these organs are not functioning properly, there could be complications during anesthesia. Humane Ohio does not offer bloodwork services; we are not a full-service veterinary clinic and focus solely on spay/neuter because our mission is to prevent unwanted litters.
