We do get dogs that already neutered but not many. Most dogs that come into the shelter already neutered are surrendered by their owners for one reason or another but unfortunately if a dog owner is responsible enough to neuter their animal then normally they take their dogs with them when they leave the country.
We do get discounts from the vets for neutering but unfortunately female dogs still work out expensive. When we have a large donation made (maybe one of the schools has raised money for us) then we get a load of dogs (normally the males) neutered. If the animal is already neutered then we still ask for a slightly higher donation as we would have had the surgery carried out already but it's much less then a vets bill!
When people want to surrender animals to us, we ask that they get them vaccinated before entering the shelter to help keep all our animals healthy. Again if the animal you choose is already vaccinated then your donation is less.
However if an adopter chooses an animal that isn't already neutered or vaccinated - we do ask they pay the vets bill.
Unfortunately though due to this whole thread, QAWS now looks like we "sell" each animal for QR1,500 which just isn't the case. Fees range from QR200 - QR2,000 depending on the animal, species, age, weight, medical status etc.
And we would NEVER rehome to someone who didn't agree with neutering their pets.
