Clinic Schedule

Our schedule changes monthly with as many as 10-12 clinics a month both on weekdays and on weekends. Registration is required in advance by calling (315) 422-7970. Please leave a message and your call will be returned as soon as our volunteers are able.

Pets are dropped off at SANS in the morning by 8am and are usually discharged on the same day. We ask owners/caretakers to fill out a brief form with contact information, information on your pet and to sign a medical release form.  Our evening Office Assistant will call you and and give a time to pick up your pet after they have fully recovered.  Special arrangements can be made if needed.  Post-op instructions are provided at the time of pick-up and any questions will be answered by our Evening Assistant.

About the Procedures

Male Neutering: Neutering is the surgical procedure performed on male cats and dogs. General anesthesia is used and no sutures (stitches) are used on male cats.

Female Spaying: Spaying is also known as an ovarian hysterectomy.  It is the procedure performed on female cats and dogs. General anesthesia is used.  We use sutures which dissolve, so no return visit is required for removal of the stitches. However, owners and caretakers are instructed to monitor the incision sites daily for at least a week post surgery.

Dogs and cats are anesthetized for both of these procedures. Pain medication is provided as part of our standard anesthetic protocol. The surgeries are performed by a skilled veterinarian and assisted by a licensed veterinary technician. Animals are closely monitored after surgery by our trained staff.

Cost

All procedures are done at cost for non-profit shelters, rescue groups, caretakers of feral cats and persons of low income who meet eligibility requirements (Medicaid, SSI, HEAP, or other public assistance).

The cost for spaying and neutering are package prices which include surgery, vaccinations for rabies and distemper, flea treatment, ear clean & nail trim.

These are the projected costs for spaying and neutering services. We accept cash, money orders and Visa/Mastercard.
