Appointments are required for all sterilization surgeries. If your pet has had a rabies vaccination within the past year, you will be required to bring a copy of their rabies certificate. If not, we will give your pet a $12 Rabies vaccination at the time of their surgery.
Pets check in at 9:00 a.m. the morning of their appointment. All food and water MUST be withheld past midnight the night before their surgery. If your pet eat or drinks after midnight, they could be declined. Dogs must be on a leash or in a carrier. Cat MUST be in a carrier lined with newspaper. Please download a copy of our questionnaire/release form to bring with you. Having this form filled out and signed will save you time checking your pet in. Also download a copy of questionnaire history form. Fill out one form per pet and bring with you. Check out at the Longview location is a 4:00 p.m. the same day. At 4:15 p.m. a $20 per day late fee will be charged - the mobile units, Sulphur Springs and Palestine locations check out is at 3:00 pm and the late fee starts at 3:15 p.m.). Don't be late! Payment for services are collected at check out. We accept cash, Discover, Visa or Mastercard. No checks please.
Animal Protection League does not perform any pre-op bloodwork. Pre-op bloodwork checks for anemia as well as checks the animal's organs such as the kidneys and liver. Since the liver processes the anesthetic agent, it is important that it is functioning properly. We do not perform surgeries on pets that are greater than 5 years of age. These pets need the pre-op bloodwork and a different anesthetic protocol that a private practice veterinarian can offer.
Surgery involves the use of anesthetics and drugs. Injury or death may conceivably result from the surgery and accompanying procedures.
The Animal Protection League will not perform surgery on Great Danes over 8 months of age due to the breed's predisposition for genetic heart problems.
The Animal Protection League does not perform surgery on dogs weighing over 80 pounds. Please see your private practice vet for these services.
If your pet has suffered a trauma, such as, kicked by horse, hit by care, etc., they could be a high risk surgery due to underlying conditions as a result of that trauma. Please inform our staff at the time you schedule your appointment to discuss the potential risks.
As of September 2022, Animal Protection League has performed over 200,000 sterilizations.
