The Bedford Humane Society provides funding for spay/neuter
surgery to income-qualifying Bedford County/City residents through scheduled
animal transports to the nearby South Central Spay Neuter Clinic in Evington.
You must make an appointment
by completing the Spay/Neuter Appointment Application (below).
There are three price levels, based on your income. PROOF OF INCOME IS
REQUIRED for the lower levels- a copy of your Federal Income Tax Return or
"Notice of Action" letter showing proof of income eligibility for
Public Assistance.
1) Low cost vaccinations are also available for pets
undergoing surgery only.
2)You must be able to drop off
your pet at Bedford Tractor Supply by 7:00 am in the morning.
3)You must be able to pick up
your pet the following day between Noon and 1pm.
Your pet will spend the night at the clinic, recovering
from the surgery and anesthesia and will be checked in the morning before
being returned to you. However, be advised that there are no veterinary
staff present overnight at the clinic.
4)PROOF OF RABIES IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Rabies vaccinations are required by Virginia
law. You MUST either purchase a vaccination for your animal when it has
surgery
or bring a current rabies certificate with you to your
appointment.
5) Adult animals (over 4 months old) must not have any
food or water after 9pm the night before the surgery. Animals younger than 4
months old may have food and water. This is very important for the
safety of the animal.
6)Your animal will receive a small tattoo on his/her underside
to show that he/she has been sterilized.
7)Animals over 8 years old should be seen by a their regular
vet. We would require a pre-anesthetic blood panel from your regular vet
before performing surgery on older animals.
