Spay Waggin’
If getting your pet spayed or neutered is cost-prohibitive, the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s (ARL) Spay Waggin’ can help. The Spay Waggin’ provides high-quality, affordable spay/neuter services to animals in need on Cape Cod and the South Shore.
What is Spay/Neuter?
A spay is the surgical removal of a female’s reproductive organs so that she can no longer become pregnant. A neuter is the surgical removal of a male animal’s testicles so that he cannot impregnate a female.The surgeries are performed by a veterinarian while animals are under general anesthesia so that they do not feel pain. When someone says an animal is “fixed” or “altered” that means the animal has been spayed or neutered.
