An important component of our mission at Talbot Humane is to provide affordable and accessible spay/neuter services to residents in need in Talbot County. Talbot Humane offers a no fee or subsidized spay/neuter service to low income pet owners and animal caretakers. We do this through the generosity of private donors and grant monies- we receive no county funds or support for these programs. 

It is easy to apply. You may call to do the application at 410-822-0107 or fill out the application at the bottom of this page.

WHY SPAY OR NEUTER?

Good for your pet.

• Spaying or neutering your pet can decrease the risk of diseases that are expensive to treat.
• Pets that are spayed or neutered have up to an 85% lower risk of certain types of cancers and other serious health complications.
• Animals that are fixed make better companions because they are not motivated to wander in search of a mate.

Good for you — eliminate annoying behavioral problems.

• Altered animals are significantly less likely to mark or spray urine.
• Female animals in heat can cry incessantly, act nervous and attract males from all around. Having your pet spayed eliminates the heat cycle.
• Animals that have been spayed or neutered are less likely to bite, roam or get into fights.

Good for our community.

• A compassionate society knows there is a better way to solve overpopulation than needlessly euthanizing unwanted animals.
• Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted companion animals. Spaying and neutering helps reduce the number of strays and unwanted animals in our community.
• Spaying or neutering reduces an animal’s desire to roam, resulting in fewer traffic accidents and neighborhood complaints of nuisance animals.
