Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter

Spay/Neuter Assistance

All shelter animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Heart of the Valley believes responsible pet guardianship, including spaying and neutering of animals, is the only way to overcome pet overpopulation. If you have an animal that needs to be spayed or neutered, please see your veterinarian or click here to see a list of local veterinarians.  Please be aware that prices vary from one clinic to the next, so we recommend that you shop around for the best price.

The Montana Spay Neuter Task Force at www.mtspayneutertaskforce.org also provides free or low-cost spay/neuter clinics in the Bozeman area twice per year.  Contact them directly in order to be placed on their reservation list.

Many owners worry about whether spaying or neutering is the correct action for their pet.  Please refer to the links below for answers to the most commonly asked questions.
