Don't litter, fix your critter!

In conjunction with the Humane Alliance, HAWA offers low cost spay/neuter for your dogs and cats. We currently have a subsidized rate of  $30 for surgery.  We also have funds available to cover full surgery cost for income-qualified pet owners.

Did you know your pet can be spayed or neutered as young as 10 weeks of age? Also, spaying and neutering can help your pets live longer, happier lives!

 To take advantage of our low cost spay/neuter program you must make advance reservations as there are a limited number of spaces available on each transport.

To make a reservation go by our office at:     145 Wall Street in Waynesville

Office hours: Monday through Thursday from 10 to 5.

or call (828) 452-1329 for directions or additional information.

If you choose you can also purchase low cost vouchers from us and make your own appointment for your pet’s surgery with the Humane Alliance clinic.

Follow these Instructions for Spay/Neuter Day:

• All pets must be in a plastic pet carrier for transport.
• If you do not have a carrier rent one to you for $5.
• Your pet should be given no food or water after 9 pm the night before.
• Drop your pet(s) off at 8:00 am at the brown shed located at Charles and Boundary Streets — directly across from Haywood Builders Supply.
• Pickup your pet between 12:00 - 12:30 p.m. the following day at the same location.

Some local vets honor our low-cost vouchers too. If you wish to purchase a voucher and take your pet to your vet, contact your vet first to determine if the practice will honor the voucher and how much over the voucher you will be charged.

We only offer surgery & rabies vaccination on vet vouchers. Other services and vaccinations can be purchased if your pet is enrolled for surgery on our regular transports.
