Community Surgical Clinic
The Community Surgical Clinic, located at ARL’s Dedham Animal Care & Adoption Center, provides low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs by using a voucher provided by the Massachusetts Animal Fund. Vouchers are available based on need through your local animal control officer. This low-cost clinic is for pet owners who have received a Massachusetts Animal Fund Voucher from their local animal control officer and for local animal shelters that need assistance with spay and neuter surgeries for the animals in their care. Surgeries are by appointment only.
Please note: The Community Surgical Clinic does not issue vouchers. Vouchers must be obtained in advance from your local animal control officer before scheduling an appointment.
