Spay & Neuter Clinics
Caldwell Humane Society partners with the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance in Asheville to offer spay and neuter services at reduced costs. Anyone, regardless of income, may use this service. Animals are picked up in Caldwell County, transported to Asheville for surgery, and returned the next day.
Together with the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance, we have coordinated the spay/neuter of more than 11,000 Caldwell County pets since 2005.
Demand for low-cost spay/neuter appointments greatly exceeds supply, so there is a waiting list for our program. Please scroll down for more information about our waiting list.
