Spay & Neuter Assistance Program

Low-cost Spay and Neuter Assistance

In an effort to combat the overpopulation of dogs in our state, Saved By Fate Dog Rescue is pleased to offer Kentucky residents low-cost spay and neuter assistance. Please read the following rules for our assistance program before applying. We look forward to assisting you with your dog's vet care needs!
UPDATE 10/17/25: Applications are now closed for the remainder of 2025. If you have applied, CHECK YOUR EMAIL INBOX AND SPAM/JUNK REGULARLY!
  • The cost of our assistance program is $25 per dog. This non-refundable fee must be paid before you reserve your surgery spot with our partnering vet clinic.
  • Our assistance program is currently for dogs up to 100 pounds only.
  • Applicants must be Kentucky residents.
  • Applicants must be willing and able to transport their dog(s) to and from a vet clinic in Lexington, KY on the scheduled date of the surgery(s).
  • Because we rely on the generosity and availability of our veterinary partners, applicants MUST give at least 48 hours' notice if they are not able to make it to their scheduled appointment. No-shows will disqualify you from future assistance and may impact the ability for other Kentucky residents to receive assistance.
  • Applicants are limited to assistance for 3 dogs max per household per year. If an applicant needs assistance with more than 3 dogs, they will need to contact the Saved By Fate Intake team at intake@savedbyfate.org first before applying.
  • Applicants may be asked to explain the financial hardship that prevents them from affording to spay and neuter their pets themselves.
  • Applications will be approved at the discretion of Saved By Fate Dog Rescue.
  • Puppies are eligible for our program beginning at 12 weeks old.
  • It is highly recommended that dogs over 6 months old have an exam and Heartworm Disease testing done by your primary veterinarian prior to the scheduled date of surgery. If a dog tests positive for Heartworm Disease before the scheduled date of surgery, he/she may not be eligible for surgery through our assistance program.
