VETERINARY CARE
Through a special arrangement, a veterinarian comes to the shelter every week to surgically spay or neuter each animal going up for adoption and to medically treat all animals as necessary. We're very proud to say that every animal up for adoption at CVAS has already been spayed and neutered.
