Each
and every animal that passes through our doors is spayed or neutered. The ONLY exception is mares (female horses) but we do
not allow for any of our equines to be bred. That’s the best we can do! The sad reality is that there IS a severe pet
overpopulation problem and the number one way to address this as well as to stop the killing and suffering of thousands is
by spaying & neutering all animals.
Middleburg
Humane actively offers low cost spay/neuter services to people who love their animals but cannot financially afford to take them to their vet. We work closely with each family as a team to help get all animals in the household current on vaccines, dewormed and spayed or neutered. Please
