Claremore Animal Control strongly urges pet owners to have their dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Pets that are spayed or neutered remain healthier and are less likely to roam.

If you take home an animal from the shelter, spaying or neutering is covered in the adoption fee. If you did not adopt your pet from the shelter, there are many local veterinarians who perform the surgeries.

There is also a non-profit organization out of Tulsa that provides low-cost spays and neuters for pets whose owners who earn $35,000 or less per year. Spay Oklahoma, Inc., is located at 506 E. 36th St. North in Tulsa (on the West side of Neighbor for Neighbor).

Call (918) 728-3144 to make an appointment for a low-cost surgery through Spay Oklahoma, Inc.
