Be a part of the HAWS community for pets and their people. Join our pack!

HAWS’ Spay-Neuter Initiative Program Clinic provides spay/neuter procedures for animals at HAWS, animals belonging to breed-placement groups as well as animals belonging to members of the general community.

Spay/neuter surgery carries a one-time cost that is relatively small compared to the long-term benefits. Along with helping curb pet overpopulation, spay/neuter surgery allows pets to live longer, healthier lives. It also makes ​them less likely to spray and/or mark territory and eliminates heat cycles. ​Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems ​than those who have been spayed or neutered.

HAWS is saving lives through Project Guardian, our no-cost spay-neuter program for outdoor cats, and through Seeking Sanctuary, our alternative placement program for non-social cats. Please click on the links to learn more!

For more information on HAWS’ SNIP services, please contact the clinic directly at 262-542-8852.

AFTER you have scheduled your surgical appointment, please complete our online Surgical Registration Form. Please do not fill out the registration form for appointments other than surgery.

* Please note, a current rabies vaccination certificate is required for animals undergoing procedures at HAWS’ SNIP clinic. If your animal does not have a current rabies vaccination, one will be given at the time of the appointment.

But it’s not only spaying and neutering for HAWS’ team! Our veterinarians oversee the medical needs of every animal in the shelter to ensure they are healthy and adoptable. Procedures include dentals and dental care, non-surgical medical treatments, on-going medical treatments, amputations, biopsies, lump removals, bladder stone removal, intestinal blockage removal, heartworm treatments and more. The vets at HAWS are true caregivers for animals in need.

Donations are gladly accepted

The SNIP program at HAWS is poised to make a far-reaching and lasting impact on the animal population in our community, but that cannot continue without your support.

Help us continue our mission of ensuring the entire community treats animals and one another, with respect.
