LHS partners with PETFIX to bring low cost
spay and neuter to Lake County

LHS is proud to announce it has partnered with PetFix Northeast Ohio to provide affordable spay and neuter surgeries to qualifying pet owners. The service is open to owners of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies over 8 weeks of age or weighing over 2 pounds.

The mobile state-of-the-art surgical clinic is staffed by licensed veterinarians and assisted by registered veterinary technicians, and animal care technicians. Animals arrive early at LHS on surgery day and are discharged to their owners later the same day. Detailed, after care instructions along with the name and number of a local emergency animal clinic is given to pet owners when they pick up their animals.

Pet owners qualify for the low-cost surgeries by providing proof that they are low income or are receiving public assistance. Once LHS has verified pre-qualification the pet owner will need to complete registration forms and pre-pay for the surgery. Owners will also need to provide proof that the animal has received their rabies vaccine. If it has not then PetFix will include this for an additional fee. This process must be completed NO LESS THAN SEVEN DAYS BEFORE SURGERY. Payment can be made with a credit card, cashier’s check or cash. Personal checks will not be accepted.

The clinic will also be made available to caregivers of feral cat colonies. Each feral cat must be in a humane trap and will receive rabies shots for an additional fee. There is a limit on the number of feral cats for each clinic and caregivers are encouraged to register early. Feral cats will have their ears notched to avoid re-trapping.

LHS has worked diligently for the last 6 months to bring this vital service to our community because it is committed to helping control the rapidly growing over-population of dogs and cats in Lake County. Our next clinic is scheduled for June 9, 2010. People interested in learning more or to register for an upcoming clinic are encouraged to contact LHS at 951-6122.
