Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP)

What is SNAP?
The Wisconsin Humane Society’s Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income animal guardians access affordable spay/neuter services for their animals at either our Milwaukee Campus or Ozaukee Campus. Through SNAP, WHS veterinary staff provide your dog or cat with a rabies and distemper (DHPP or FVRCP) vaccine, spay/neuter surgery and deworming, if needed. Veterinarians will discuss other optional services with you at the time of your appointment. For follow-up preventive care or for services other than spay/neuter, please contact your veterinarian. Pricing is as follows and includes the $10 application fee:
