Thank you for your interest in our low-cost spay / neuter programs. Caldwell Humane Society partners with the SNIP regional clinic and local veterinarians to offer spay and neuter services at reduced costs.
What is the SNIP regional clinic?
SNIP is the regional nonprofit spay and neuter clinic based at Humane Society of Catawba County in Hickory. Anyone, regardless of income, may use this service. Animals are picked up in Caldwell County, transported to Hickory for surgery, and returned the next day.
What is SPOT?
SPOT (Stop Pet Overpopulation Today) is a program that helps families with limited income pay for spay / neuter surgery. Caldwell Animal Hospital, Lake Hickory Animal Hospital and Lenoir Veterinary Hospital support our SPOT program by providing services locally to qualifying individuals who have special-needs pets that can't have surgery in Hickory. Financial aid is for Caldwell County residents only. You may apply for help only for your own pets. To apply for financial assistance, you must attach copies of documents that verify your total monthly household income.
How Can I Help?
Caldwell Humane Society is an all-volunteer group, and we are always in need of additional volunteers. We need people to assist with preparations for the clinics, operations at the clinic pick-up and drop-off sites, and with fundraisers. Please call 499-0289 and leave a message for more information. A volunteer will return your call.
