Schedule an Appointment
Humane Ohio performs spay/neuter by appointment only, Monday through Friday. 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.
Deposits are required for all spay/neuter surgeries, with the exception of community cats. If you schedule your pet's spay/neuter appointment online, a deposit is required when scheduling to reserve your appointment. If an appointment is made over the phone, we require a deposit to be made either in person, or online via a credit card link sent to you, within 7 business days of scheduling the appointment. This deposit covers the cost of the spay/neuter surgery (any additional services, or if an animal is a cryptorchid, or needs a hernia repair, there would be an additional fee). In the event you do not show up for your appointment or do not give at least 48 hours notice to cancel the appointment, your deposit will be forfeited to our clinic as a donation.

Please note: If you do not find appointment availability, this simply means we are at capacity and do not have any availability for your animal type (species, sex, weight) in our openings at this time. We are only scheduling appointments 6 weeks out at a time due to the high demand for spay/neuter. New appointments open up at 7:30AM daily. Please feel free to check back in regularly to see if any appointments have become available. We greatly appreciate your patience!

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.
