Free, Low-Cost Spay And Neuter Surgeries For Mpls. Pets

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The City Of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (MNSNAP) are offering free and low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for Minneapolis pets.

Due to a grant from PetSmart Charities, free surgeries are available for pet owners in several north Minneapolis residents, while low-cost surgeries are available to residents who qualify all over Minneapolis.

The north Minneapolis neighborhoods include Willard Hay, Near North, Harrison, Jordan, North Loop, Sumner-Glenwood and Heritage Park.

Pet owners will need to provide proof of residency and register their dogs, cats or rabbits. To schedule an appointment, residents should visit MNSAP's website or call 612-720-8236.

The low-cost surgeries offered to qualified Minneapolis residents will be $40 to $70, compared to $250 to $450 charged at other clinics.

Residents who'd like a low-cost surgery must provide proof of participation in a needs-based public assistance program, such as Food Stamps and Medicaid.
