Does U know where I can get my dog neutered and his shots for little or no money?

Question

I had my 2yr.old Golden for about 3 months. He was given as a present to me by my boyfriend. His previous owner didn't want to give him away until she found his papers but my bf persuaded her. She says she's still looking for them. Now I'm wondering can I just get him a new license, shots, and neutered? I thought about breeding him because he's a perfect, healthy Golden but the idea quickly went away when I watch Animal Planet and see all those unwanted puppies! It is litterally heart breaking and I'm not contributing to that! Also, I'm on a fixed income so I would like to know of a place that could do this in central New Jersey for not too much money. Also, I'm a little worried that the place will take my dog away if they see that I got him with no papers. Can they do that? All answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Answer 1

Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Services

If you cannot afford to have the surgery performed by your veterinarian, you may qualify for one or more of the following low-cost services:
• SpayUSA http://www.spayusa.org/

• HappyPets.org http://happypets.addr.com/lost_cost_or_free_spay.htm

• Friends of Animals http://www.friendsofanimals.org/spaying/cover.htm

• NJ State Program http://www.state.nj.us/health/cd/animhosp.htm

Answer 2

Your local RSPCA or SPCA will probably be able to get him neutered for a lot cheaper than what a vet would do it for.

At 2 years, he should have had almost all his shots by now. You will need all the vaccination certificates from the person your boyfriend bought the dog from. You will also need ALL of these vaccination certificates if you need to board your dog for a few days.

Good choice on not breeding your Golden. There are far too many dogs being euthanized each day because people are breeding dogs for money and do not care where the pups go.

Answer 3

You don't need papers to register him for a license, shots or neutered. Check with your local SPCA or ASPCA to see about inexpensive shots and neutering. Get a letter from the former owner stating that she gave or sold the dog to your BF. No, they can't take the dog away from you because you don't have the registration papers. Get him neutered for sure if you don't plan to breed him. Also, get him checked for parasites and heart worm. MAKE SURE YOU GET SOMETHING IN WRITING FROM THE FORMER OWNER THAT THE DOG IS NO LONGER HERS BEFORE YOU NEUTER HIM!!!.
Good luck.

Answer 4

Contact your local SPCA or Humane Society, they often offer little or no cost spay/ neuter programs. Your vet should also be able to refer you. PetSmart stores often have rescue organizations that have adopt-a-thons, some of them may have a list of discounted or free spay/ neuter programs for your area. They won't take him away from you if you're taking good care of him; you're obviously a good pet mom. They'll just do new documentation for him when he gets his shots. The previous owner's vet should have a chart established, so you should be able to get a copy from him/ her. Just explain the situation when you take him in, they'll understand.

Answer 5

My male Gordon Setter (avatar dogs) isn't neutered because he's a teach dogs and as Been There achieved Tha... er, I recommend achieved all of it suggested, teach dogs might want to be intact. My Gordon b*tch and a pair of Papillons are spayed. I have a rescue Papillon i latterly took in, and that i visit have her spayed once i visit, the best of October, considering that she had pups in Aug. (i wager suspentions might want to be gotten round, huh?)

Answer 6

talk to your vet or animal control in your area. Many areas have low cost spay and neuter programs and low cost immunization clinics. Also talk to the area petstores. Papers only show if they are purebred or not. If there is some extreme neglect or signs of extreme abuse they may take him, but not because you got him from someone w/o papers

Answer 7

if you live in Los Angeles California you can contact the "Actors and Others for Animals".

If you qualify you may receive financial assistance in spay/neuter your pet program . If you don't live in California i would recommend you contact your local pet shop, humane society and or the ASPCA and see what programs are available in your area. I'm so glad that you care so much about animals. I, like yourself, care very much about animals.
good luck to you.

Answer 8

You do not need to have any paperwork to see a vet or go to a spay/neuter clinic.
They just take your word that you own the animal.

Papers do not mean anything....they won't take your dog.

I'm glad you chose not to breed. The shelters are over run and so many dogs, cats, even puppies and kittens are put to death daily.
