Public Spay Neuter Program
The Louisa Humane Society (LHS) is proud to offer high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter services to the residents of Louisa County. We are only able to offer these services for dogs and cats at this time. The Louisa Humane Society Public Spay/Neuter Program is not extended to breeders of dogs and/or cats.
Before completing the online application, please recognize that these low-cost services are meant for those who would otherwise be unable to afford to have their pets sterilized. If you have the option to take your pet to your primary care veterinarian, we would encourage you to do so.
Adult dogs and cats must be in good health and weight. Elderly and/or overweight pets are at greater risk for complications and require caution in scheduling these services; and services maybe declined at the discretion of the vet.
The Code of Virginia requires that all dogs and cats receive rabies vaccine prior to attaining 4 months of age (§ 3.2-6521). A licensed veterinarian or a licensed veterinary technician under the immediate and direct supervision of a veterinarian must administer the vaccine. The spay/neuter clinic will provide this vaccination at the time of surgery if the pet has not yet been vaccinated. If your pet has a current rabies vaccine, then proof of your pet’s certificate from a licensed vet must be provided at check-in on the day of surgery.
