Other requirements:

Deposit Required

A deposit is mandatory for scheduling, and only debit/credit cards are accepted in adherence to BMHS policy. Appointments cannot be scheduled over the phone or with cash or check.

Proof of Rabies Vaccine

Rabies vaccinations are required for all animals over 12-weeks of age by Washington State law. If you do not provide a current rabies certificate (tags will not be accepted as proof), we require you pay the $20 fee to have your pet vaccinated at the time of surgery.

Current License (Dogs Only)

Walla Walla and College Place ordinances require a license for dogs over the age of 3 months, living within the city limits. Walla Walla County requires a license for dogs over the age of 6 months, residing within the County’s dog control zone. Licensed dogs must wear a current dog license tag. A current dog license will be required before release.

Please be prepared to pay separately for a dog license if applicable. You may be required to purchase a dog license based on where you live. This information can be found on our website here: bluemountainhumane.org/dog-licensing. The transaction for this license fee is charged separately from your subsidized spay/neuter services and can be paid at pick-up, with our customer service staff.

The process:

• A brief veterinarian examination

• Sedation and pain medication

• General anesthesia

• A spay or neuter surgery

• A small tattoo on the tummy to indicate that spay or neuter has been performed

• Tender loving care

Balance for services is due at the time of drop-off. We accept cash, debit, and credit cards. You will be notified of additional charges due at the time of pick up. Please plan ahead for potential surcharges such as treatment for live fleas or tapeworms found during surgery.
