February is nationally recognized as “Spay/Neuter Awareness Month.” It’s Ideal to have pets sterilized before the spring and summer months which we refer to as puppy and kitten season.

Animal shelters see the biggest increase in animal intake at this time of year. What is the ideal age to spay or neuter your pet? Below are general recommendations, however, it is important to speak to your veterinary about what timeline is best for your specific breed. * Cats: before five months old * Female dogs: after they stop growing and before their first heat * Male dogs: six to nine months #spayneuterawareness #rescuedog #adoptabledogsofatlanta #adoptabledogatl #rescuedogsofinstagram #angelsamongus #angelsrescue #beagle #adoptabeagle #beaglesofinstagram #fosterdog #atlanta #atlantarescue #atlantarescuedogs #adoptdontshop #adoptadog #adoptadogsavealife #adoptarescue #adoptarescuedog #rescue #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #shelterdog #adoptashelterdog https://spotsociety.org/?fbclid=IwAR0ZubzEhGBe3nIIVRXh2EUsUS-5KzVCJk8u7oVP5CmXhf2k0EhEOXZB1No
