The county's Department of Environmental Resources' Animal Management Division is opening a low-cost spay/neutering clinic located at the Animal Services Facility in Upper Marlboro next week.
Environmental officials are calling it “The Spay Spot" and it will open on Tuesday, according to a press release. In addition to providing low-cost spay/neutering services, the new facility will offer pet vaccinations, Heartworm tests and nail trims to county pets and area rescue groups.
“The public opening of the Spay/Neuter Clinic will assist us in our goal of reducing pet homelessness,” Environmental Resources Director Samuel E. Wynkoop, Jr. said in a press release. “We are excited to be able to offer these valuable services to responsible pet owners.”
