Affordable Spay and Neuter Services
The Humane Society of Culpeper coordinates transportation to a few local clinics which offer low-cost spay/neuter opportunities for the community.
Pets must be pre-registered for the program. Preference is given to Culpeper County residents and slots are filled on a first-come/first-served basis. All pets must be in individual, appropriate sized carriers (no wire kennels). Carriers may be borrowed from the Humane Society of Culpeper for the transport itself (as available).
Proof of a current rabies vaccination must be brought to the clinic, otherwise, a rabies vaccination will be administered (to be paid by the animal's owner).

St Seton's Orphaned Animals

Although funds are limited, they will be made available to those who need it for as long as possible.
Note: that no other services are allowed through this assistance, therefore only surgery and rabies vaccinations are permitted per transport.
