Spay/Neuter
Spaying or neutering your pet is essential to preventing unwanted litters and protecting your pet from serious reproductive health issues. It is also required by Chapter 7 of the City of Dallas code.
If your pet is intact, you may be in violation of city code and subject to citation and fines. We have several partners across the community that offer low-cost and free options for spay/neuter.
Spay Neuter Network
Spay Neuter Network’s Dallas clinic provides affordable and free high-quality spay, neuter, vaccinations, parasite prevention and basic pet care for dogs and cats. Clinic Location: 2247 S Buckner Blvd, Ste 110, Dallas, TX 75227. In the Buckner Village Shopping Center, next to Metro by T-Mobile.
CLINIC OPEN: MONDAY – SATURDAY
Low-cost Vaccines and Wellness: 10:00am – 2:00pm
First-come, first-served. No Appointments are taken. In order to provide a level of care and due to high volume, we may limit the number of clients and stop accepting clients prior to 2:00 pm. Wait times may vary and could run up to 1 hour or more. If your pet has not been into one of our clinics within the last year, you must bring them in with you. We cannot dispense prescription medicines for an animal we have not seen in the last year. To decrease wait times you can print and fill in vaccine forms ahead of time here.
Surgery Check-in: 7:00 am – APPOINTMENT ENCOURAGED
Everyone arrives for check-in and check-out at the same time. Wait times can be up to an hour or more.
Walk-ins are welcome if space is available after clients with appointments are checked in. Space is limited so we cannot guarantee services without an appointment.
Un-owned outdoor and Feral Cat Surgery Check-in: 9:00am
These cats are taken on a first-come-first-served basis during open surgery days. We will take as many as capacity will allow with a maximum of 2 cats per person. No appointments are given. We request that you do not arrive until at most 20 minutes before check-in time, and if you do arrive early, please wait in your temperature-controlled vehicle.
