Spay And Neuter Assistance

 

SpayAid PEI is providing assistance for residents of PEI who, due to financial limitations, are unable to spay or neuter their pets.  This program is made possible through funds raised by volunteers, and donations to SpayAid PEI by our supporters, as well as the generosity of Island veterinarians. Participating veterinarians are donating 1/3 of the cost of the surgery, SpayAid PEI is contributing 1/3 of the cost, and the remaining 1/3 of the cost is paid by the pet owner.
