Spay and Neuter

PAWS is proud to offer free spay and neuter for cats and dogs of residents of Rutherford County, TN (if you're not a county resident, see other resources at bottom of page)! Thanks to grants and additional funding, we can now provide this service, including a free rabies vaccination for pets 3 months of age or older, if the pet is not current. It is important to spay and neuter your pets. Not only is it good for population control, but it is also good for their health. Certain cancers can be prevented by simply spaying or neutering your pet.

Applications submitted on the weekend or faxed/emailed in will be called as soon as possible.

Appointments are scheduled first-come, first-serve. Due to high demand, appointments are generally scheduled out two months or more from the time of submitting the application, depending on application volume and appointment availability at that time. Please expect possible delays in receiving a call to be scheduled. Due to staffing and surgery volume, calls to schedule spay/neuter surgeries are typically made on Fridays.
