FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – The Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC) will perform low-cost and free spay/neuter surgeries now at two locations. Surgeries will be performed five days a week on the new custom portable unit recently acquired by Broward County Animal Care & Adoption. The unit, which was designed by FORTS of Coral Springs, is the first of its kind in the nation to be used for pet spay/neuter surgeries and has a surgery prep area, two surgery tables, a pre- and post- op recovery area all within 400 square feet. The portable unit is currently stationed at Delevoe Park, 2520 NW 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale and will remain on site for approximately 6 months. After that timeframe the unit is folded up, slid back on its custom trailer and moved to another targeted location within Broward County where there is a need for spay/neuter services.
Spay/neuter surgeries will continue to be performed four days a week at the HSBC on their mobile unit. Both locations do require appointments which can be made by calling 954-463-7729 or spayneuter@hsbroward.com
To see if your pets qualify for a free spay/neuter through the SNIP Program, Broward County residents must apply online at www.Broward.org/Animal . If you are approved you will receive a voucher that can be redeemed at the HSBC by making an appointment. You can also learn about sterilization programs for feral and free roaming cats at their website as well.
If you do not receive a voucher, pricing for spaying and neutering is as follows:
Female cats $45; male cats $30; feral cats in traps (ear notch required) $20
Dogs 0-60 pounds = $100; 61 – 110 pounds = $150; Over 111 pounds = $175
