City offers free spay / neuter clinic for dogs

January 11, 2011

Local dog owners are invited to apply to have their dog spayed or neutered for free. As part of a project approved by City Council in 2005, $2.00 from each dog tag sold in 2010 will be used to fund a spay/neuter clinic for dogs.

The City of Red Deer, in conjunction with the Red Deer and District SPCA and Alberta Animal Services, is offering the program to Red Deer residents to help control the over population of dogs in Red Deer.

Citizens wishing to apply for the clinic must fill out and submit an application form to Inspections & Licensing by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2011. Only one fully completed application form will be accepted for each licensed dog. Applications cannot be submitted online.

Application forms are available to print online at www.reddeer.ca/inspections and at the following locations:

  • City Hall (4914 - 48 Avenue)
  • Red Deer and District SPCA (4505 - 77 Street)
  • Alberta Animal Services (4640 - 61 Street)

As a result of the limited funds for the program, not all applications may be successful. If your application is successful, you will be contacted by April 1, 2011, and you must make arrangements for the procedure to be performed by no later than May 17, 2011.
