The Pet Care-A-Van is a mobile van operated by the City of El Paso Department of Public Health’s Animal Services that provides free spay and neuter surgeries. Did you know that more than 18,000 dogs and cats are euthanized in El Paso each year due to irresponsible pet ownership and pet overpopulation? Animal Services is committed to promoting and protecting the health, safety and welfare of pets in El Paso, but we need the community's help to do it. By having your dog or cat sterilized, you will do your part to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens. In addition, spaying or neutering does more than help solve the problem of overpopulation. It actually protects pets from many health problems and helps them live a longer, happier life.
Owners desiring to have their pet spayed or neutered must be present at the Pet Care-A-Van location at 7:00 am. We can accommodate a maximum of 25 pets each day on a first-come first-served basis.
Pets may drink water up until the time of surgery, but should not have solid food after 8:00 pm the night before spaying/neutering. Pets that are undergoing surgery must also receive rabies vaccinations ($9.00), be registered/licensed ($8.00), and be micro chipped ($15.00) as required by Animal Ordinances.
