Spay/Neuter Deposit

At MAMCO, we believe in doing what is best for puppies. Because of this it is essential that all dogs in our care are spayed or neutered. Breeding dogs actually shortens their lifespans and failure to spay or neuter can also lead to other health problems.

While we require that ALL of our dogs are spayed or neutered, new developments in veterinary medicine suggest that sterilizing a dog before 6 months of age can also lead to unnecessary health concerns. For this reason we do not spay or neuter our puppies prior to adoption (unless they are 6 months or older). This decision is only supported by the Department of Agriculture and Pet Animal Care Facilities Act (PACFA), if we require adopters to submit a spay/neuter security deposit.

We require a $250 deposit in the form of a check. We will NOT cash this check unless you fail to have your puppy sterilized by 6 months of age. Once your puppy has been spayed or neutered, send us a picture of the spay/neuter certificate via email. At that time we will void your check. PACFA RULES

We realize that sometimes Spay Today has a full schedule and that it can be difficult to get an appointment. If your spay or neuter appointment is delayed slightly, moving you beyond the 6 month date, DO NOT PANIC. Just send us an email showing us the appointment date, and we will make a note in our system to hold the check until the appointment date.
