This year, the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is participating in Spay Day, a national initiative to get as many animals spayed and neutered as possible.
Here’s how it will work in Cheyenne:
Between Monday, Feb. 4, and Friday, Feb. 8, patrons may bring their animal to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter at 800 Southwest Dr. between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. to receive a nationally-registered microchip at a discounted rate of $25. Once the animal has received its microchip, the owner can sign up for a free spay or neuter surgery at one of the participating vet clinics in town and will receive a voucher for a particular day and clinic. The surgeries will take place between Feb. 25 and Mar. 1.
If animals are already microchipped but not spayed or neutered, owners must still pay $25 to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter to receive a voucher. Animals must be vaccinated per the individual clinic’s rules prior to surgery, and the voucher cannot be used to pay for vaccinations.
Surgery appointments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited.
A big thank you to the veterinary clinics in Cheyenne for participating in this great initiative.
Our family is interested in participating in this, are there any weight restrictions? Our dog is about 130 pounds. Thanks!
Thank you for your interest in our Spay Day Program, some of the clinics do have weight restrictions, but if you get here early enough we can hopefully get you into an appointment that will allow your large dog. The dog appointments do fill up first so please make sure you come early to assure your appointment. We look forward to seeing you and your dog here.
