SOS of Ohio works closely with over 40 nonprofit rescue groups, humane societies and shelters in the greater Columbus area. We offer special surgery and testing fees for these 501c3 nonprofit organizations, reducing costs by up to $20.00 per surgery. Through combining the efforts of these organizations with our own, thousands of dogs and cats have been spayed or neutered prior to finding forever homes, helping to reduce the homeless pet population on multiple fronts. By providing reduced surgery prices, these organizations are also able to reduce their operating costs, ensuring their ability to continue to help homeless animals find loving families.

Pain Management
We believe that no animal should go without pain medication which is why we provide every animal with an anti-inflammatory which lasts through the day following their surgery. Our veterinarians will recommend additional pain medication if they feel it is of particular importance for your animal.

Additional pain medication is also available by request for $10

NOTE:  E-Collars are available at pick up for an additional $5.
E-Collars are plastic cones the go over an animal's head to keep them from licking or biting at their incision. While some animals are interested in licking, and some are not, an e-collar may be the only way that you will know for sure that they will not have access to their incision. Licking and biting can lead to infection or, in the case of female animals, allow them to open their incision which leads directly into their abdominal cavity.

OTHER SERVICES
The following services are ONLY available at the time of surgery.

VACCINATIONS

SOS of Ohio reserves the right to deny surgery to animals that are deemed overweight or not healthy enough for surgery by one of our veterinarians.

In most cases, we will provide low-cost treatment of the illness if we are able.
