Spay/Neuter Program

IF YOU ARE LOW INCOME AND NEED YOUR PETS FIXED:

BARC’s spay/neuter program is open to anyone who is on government assistance or can show proof of financial need, regardless of residency. Government assistance can be: WIC, Social Security, Social Security Disability, Medicaid, Food Stamps, IL Link Card, Section 8 Housing, etc.  Our criteria for yearly low income is under $20,000 per individual or $32,000 per family. Proof of eligibility must be shown on surgery day.

BARC provides this wonderful community service to help families who want to do the right thing and fix their pets, but lack the financial means to do so.

If you qualify, you can schedule an appointment by calling Carol House Quick Fix Clinic St. Louis location at 314.771.7387 or Rolla location at 573.465.3099 (please reference the BARC program).

BARC’s spay/neuter program is for OWNED PETS and not for breeders or anyone affiliated with rescue groups. We cannot provide this service for other organizations.

Current client copays are $20 per cat and $30 per dog.

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2025: Due to the demand for our program and increased expenses, we will require a minimum copay of $25 per cat and $35 per dog.
