Vaccine Clinic -

Update as of January 2024 - Service Currently Unavailable We are NOT accepting new appointments for the Spay Neuter Assistance Program at this time. Due to the high volume of animals coming into our care each day, we have to take a slight pause on this public service in order to provide the best possible care for our shelter pets.We're hoping to start SNAP again later into 2024, but we will not be keeping a waitlist. Please check back in coming months for updates.If you already have an appointment scheduled, that will not change.Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Vaccine Clinic

Limited Services for Cats and Dogs

The Vaccine Clinic is held the second Wednesday of each month from 2-5:30 p.m.

Appointments are required; no walk-ins allowed.

Participation in the HSSC Vaccine Clinic does not constitute complete health care. It is strongly recommended to ensure your pet receives an annual complete physical examination with your primary veterinarian.

Animals with a known history of vaccine reaction, animals that are known to be pregnant, animals showing active signs of illness (ex: vomiting, diarrhea, upper respiratory infection), or those that are deemed a danger to the staff and volunteers of HSSC are excluded from participating in the Vaccine Clinic.

Owners are not allowed to restrain their own animal for vaccination. All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash and all cats must arrive in a carrier. Owners violating this rule will be denied services.

Kittens/puppies under 4 months old: DO NOT withhold food or water prior to surgery.
Dogs must arrive with a collar and on leash (no retractable leashes). Cats and rabbits must be in a carrier.
Pets must be dropped off between 8:00am – 8:30am the day of surgery at the Admissions Department. (South side of the building near garage, door is labeled)

*The Following animals and conditions are excluded from the SNAP program:

Any animal that is actively showing signs of illness
Any animal that is revealed to have a health condition during their pre-surgery exam (example: heart murmur)
Any animal over 7 years of age
Any animal that is deemed to be obese
Any animal weighing over 100lbs or under 2lbs
Any female that has given birth within the previous 6 weeks
Animals that are too fearful or aggressive to be handled safely.

We will spay female animals that are “in heat” at the time of surgery, but they are at a higher surgical risk for bleeding during surgery and post-operatively. It is strongly recommended that you reschedule the surgery for 4-6 weeks post-cycle.
SNAP is not a feral or barn cat program. If you have feral or barn cats to be spayed or neutered, please utilize a TNR / Return to Field application.
ALL FEES MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE. HSSC accepts cash and credit/debit cards only – NO personal checks. If you do not show up for your appointment at the scheduled time, you will forfeit the fees you paid. In the case of a shelter emergency, severe weather, or staff illness, we reserve the right to reschedule your appointment.
You MUST drop off and pick up your pet at the times scheduled. Your appointment will be cancelled if you do not drop off your pet during the allotted time. Boarding fees will be charged if you do not pick up your pet on time.
City of Sheboygan residents: You are required, by law to have your dog or cat licensed with the city. If your pet is not currently licensed, HSSC can assist you with licensure for an additional cost.
Applicants must supply all vaccination records for their pet, including licensing information, if current prior to service.
Our on-staff veterinarian performs the SNAP surgeries. No other surgical or medical services other than what is listed will be provided under the SNAP program. For follow-up preventive care or for services other than spay/neuter, please contact your primary veterinarian.
Animals brought in for surgery that have fleas will be charged $12.00 for flea treatment, plus an additional $12.00 for every other SNAP animal also on the schedule that day.
All spays/neuters will have a small tattoo placed near their incision to mark that they have been sterilized.
You are welcome to call to check up on your pet, but visits are not allowed.
