Get Dogs Neutered, Spayed For Free In Lakewood

LAKEWOOD, OH — Dogs in Lakewood can be spayed and neutered for free through a new program. The city is partnering with two organizations to offer the free surgeries to low-income residents.

On October 25, PetFix Northeast Ohio will offer free transportation to their clinic in Euclid. Dogs and their owners will need to gather at Foster Pool at 7:30 a.m. The pets will be returned to their owners at 3:30 p.m. Space in the transport (a van) is limited, a PetFix representative told Patch.

However, if residents have their own transportation and would like to make the trip to Euclid, they can make an appointed at the PetFix clinic. Callers should dial-in after 9 a.m. The clinic closes at 4 p.m., an employee said.

The PetFix clinic is at E. 222nd Street, Euclid. The facility is right off I-90, on the Shoreway.

To qualify for the program, applicants need to show their Lakewood residency and proof of receiving government assistance.

PetFix launched in 2006 and has been offering low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for 12 years. The staff have performed more than 60,000 surgeries since opening, the organization said.
