Moms Fixed Free

If your cat or dog has had a litter, we can help.
Once the kittens/puppies are eight weeks old, Dakin will provide spay surgery and vaccines for rabies and distemper for mom free of charge.

To qualify for the Moms Fixed Free program, all kittens/puppies from the litter must be brought to Dakin to enter our adoption program. For more information about the Moms Fixed Free program, email us at Springfield@dakinhumane.org.
