Any York County resident can have their Pit Bull type dog spayed/neutered for $50. The owner must provide a photo of their license (to prove residency,) a photo of their dog (to confirm it is a Pit Bull type dog; genetic confirmation is not required), and a phone number for contact.

Only York County residents qualify for the $50 spay/neuter program, but if you do not live in York County, you can utilize our low cost spay/neuter program.

Spay It Forward

You can help improve the quality of life of animals throughout our community.
Donations to the Spay It Forward fund offset the costs of surgeries and allow us to offer drastically reduced fees for feral cats and York County pit bulls. These services are a vital part of reducing pet overpopulation and managing community cats.

Dogs in Heat

If your dog is currently in heat or her heat cycle has ended within the past six weeks, it is strongly recommended to delay her surgery until the uterus and ovaries have returned to their normal state. Being in estrus (in heat) can put your pet at an increased risk for intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. Being in heat will also increase your pet’s time under anesthesia and increase the size of her surgical incision. 

If you need to reschedule your appointment, please email clinic@ycspca.org, and we can reschedule your pet to a later date. If you wish to proceed with the surgery despite your pet being in heat or recently being in heat, there will be an additional waiver to sign at check-in stating that you acknowledge the increased anesthetic risks involved in having the procedure, and a $25 “in heat” fee will be due at the time of pick-up.
