- Most clinics require blood work for pets 5 years of age and up. This requirement is at the pet owner’s expense.

You have owned YOUR pet for at least 3 months.

SPECIAL SPAY/NEUTER DAYS or MOBILE DAYS

FLYERS FOR THESE SPECIAL DAYS ARE ALSO POSTED ON OUR PROGRAMS PAGE.

PLEASE READ EACH FLYER THOROUGHLY FOR PARTICIPATION AND REGISTRATION DETAILS.

Details include - Animal age/weight restrictions, requirements for participation, location and date of the event, post-surgery requirements, the non-refundable deposit amount, and the phone number or website link to register for your pet's appointment.

Do not email your appointment request to Project SNITS. This will delay your assistance and put you further down the medical provider's registration list. We/Project SNITS, do not book these spay/neuter appointments - We are the sponsors/funder.

NO BRACHYCEPHALIC BREEDS WILL BE APPROVED FOR MOBILE DAYS due to the increased risk of complications from "flat nose" breeds. Brachy breeds include - Pugs, Frenchies, French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apso and feline breeds - Persian and Himalayan.

Project SNITS funded services are noted on each flyer - Spay/Neuter and core vaccinations* (vaccinations with s/n only).

SPACE IS LIMITED: Please register ASAP and be ready for a call from the medical provider to confirm your pet's appointment and to pay your deposit. Space is limited for these special spay/neuter days and VERY LIMITED for mobile days.
