Dogs: $60.00     Female Cats: $55.00     Male Cats: 40.00

The Fee must be paid by Check or in Cash for the exact amount to the Smyth County Animal Shelter, and must be paid prior to the release of the animal to the adopter.

Smyth County will issue a sterilization certificate to be signed by the veterinarian upon completion.

The Adopter must contact the Clinic and make an appointment for surgery.

Upon surgery completion, the Clinic will return the white sterilization form to Smyth County and the yellow sterilization form to the adopter

The white sterilization form will be used as a means for the clinic to track and bill the amount owed to them by Smyth County

When Smyth County receives their bill along with the completed sterilization form, they will be able to make the necessary payment to the appropriate service provider and Animal Control will reconcile the sterilization book on each altered animal.

No fee is charged for the animals that have already been spayed or neutered.
