PICK-UP & Post-Surgery:

• You will be advised by each veterinary team as to when your designated time for pick-up will be. 

  • Please do not travel too far from your location, as they may call to advise you that your animal is ready for pick-up earlier than first stated. Your prompt return is appreciated.

• Surgeries are performed in an order based on a variety of factors at the discretion of each veterinarian; not by order of intake/check-in. Though obtaining a spot for this event is based on a first-come, first-serve process, surgeries are not.

  • We recommend that you plan accordingly if you go to work in the case that your pet will not be ready for pick-up early.

  • Your pets will be under supervision while awaiting their turn for surgery.

  • Pets are not kept overnight.  You will pick-up your pet on the same day.

General Event Rules:

• Lines will begin to form OUTDOORS, very early, at each location.

• Please come prepared for the weather & wait time; bringing water for you and your pet(s), warm clothing and easy to carry chair if needed.

  • Last year many began to line up by 4 am.

• Please have patience and be courteous to your fellow neighbor in line and their pet(s), event staff & volunteers. Leaving enough room between you and those around you.
