This is just another word for being neutered - having their sexual organs removed so they can't reproduce. People also refer to this as being 'fixed' or 'desexed'.
The correct terms are:
A female is 'spayed' and a male is 'castrated'. 'Neuter' is the neutral word that can refer to both ops.
Spaying involves an ovariohysterectomy, where the ovaries and uterus are removed. With castration, the testicles are removed.

It is a non-gender specific term. It means that a female dog has been spayed or a male dog has been neutered.

"Altered" refers to when a dog is neutered or spayed.

It means they are fixed - - spayed if it is a female (her uterus removed) and neutered if it is a male (his testicles removed), so they can not reproduce.
Oh and it's not spaded (that means they were hit by a shovel).
