Affordable Spay & Neuter Options in Austin

Keeping Austin Dogs Healthy Starts With Us

At Rescue ATX Dogs, we believe every dog deserves a healthy, pain-free life — and that starts with spay and neuter. Whether you’re a foster, adopter, or just a caring dog guardian, spaying or neutering your pup is one of the most important things you can do to help them live a longer, safer life and reduce the number of dogs at risk in our shelters.

We know vet care can be expensive, but thankfully there are affordable and low-cost options in Austin to get your dog spayed or neutered without breaking the bank. We’ve gathered some trusted resources to help you get started:

Why Spay/Neuter Matters

  • Reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections

  • Curbs unwanted behaviors like marking and roaming
