Public Spay/Neuter Clinic Appointments

Beginning on March 1, 2022, Contra Costa Animal Services (CCAS) has resumed taking appointments for our Public Spay/Neuter Clinic.
 
To schedule an appointment, please visit our Spay/Neuter & Vaccination Clinic Page.   
 
We appreciate your patience as we resume this public service. We will schedule spay/neuter appointments up to three months in advance, though we expect the appointments to fill up quickly due to the high demand for this service.
