The Spay Shuttle mobile spay/neuter bus will be closed Monday, August 31, through Friday, September 11. It will re-open Monday, September 14.

Sterilization is the most humane way to reduce the number of unwanted puppies and kittens born each day. Millions of unwanted animals die unnecessarily each year. Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control offers three (3) spay/neuter programs for pets of Palm Beach County residents. Proof of residency and program qualifications are required.

The Spay Shuttle is a mobile veterinary clinic for pet owners residing in Palm Beach County. Pet surgeries are completed in the morning and animals are released to owners that same afternoon. The cost is $40 for cats, $50 for dogs to include the surgery, rabies vaccination, license tag and microchip. With proof of public assistance, the fee is wavied.

The Spay Shuttle currently operates Monday through Friday each week in the parking lot at Animal Care and Control. Please call 561-233-SPAY (7729) for information or 561-233-1261 to leave your name, telephone number, breed and sex of your dog or cat for an appointment. By leaving your name, you will automatically be placed on a waiting list. You do not have to call any further. When new appointments are available, you receive a call. Please be patient. Space is limited and appointments are not immediately available. The average wait for the Spay Shuttle may be several months.

During the month of October, the Spay Shuttle is being repainted and having the graphics replaced. Those with scheduled appointments during this time will need to report to the main lobby entrance where staff will be available. The spay/neuter surgeries will be performed at the main facility of Animal Care and Control, 7100 Belvedere Road, WPB.

If you currently have a scheduled appointment you must arrive no later than 8 a.m. or your slot will be given to someone else. If you do not have an appointment, you may stand in line in the event that someone does not arrive for their scheduled appointment. If this occurs, only an animal fitting the same size and sex can be accepted in its place. Owners of pets who do not arrive on time for pet-pickup, must pay impoundment or late fees from the main shelter on Belvedere Road.

Due to exhausted funds, the voucher program has been closed. If expired vouchers become available, qualified pet owners may be placed on a waiting list. If you have questions, please feel free to call (561) 233-1252.
