With support from Henderson County, Blue Ridge Humane Society offers low-cost spay-neuter as part of our Spay-Neuter Incentive Program or SNIP.

*Hurricane Helene Update*

All scheduled SNIP appointments have been cancelled until further notice. BRHS staff will reach out to reschedule once we have confirmation that ASPCA Spay Neuter Clinic resumes operations.

Drop-off and pick-up info will be shared when your appointment is booked. The $10 (non-refundable) fee must be paid when the surgery appointment is made. This fee includes payment for the surgery as well as a rabies vaccination. 

These other services are offered at an additional cost:
