vaccine/spay & neuter clinics
Spay and Neuter Assistance
Spaying and neutering provide significant health and behavioral benefits while helping prevent accidental litters and reducing the number of unwanted rabbits entering Colorado shelters and rescues.
Assistance may be offered through scheduled community clinics or participating veterinary partners. Pricing, medical eligibility, and appointment requirements may vary. A veterinarian will make all final decisions regarding whether a rabbit is medically able to undergo surgery.

RHDV Vaccination Clinics
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus, commonly known as RHDV, is a highly contagious and frequently fatal disease. It can be spread through direct contact with an infected rabbit as well as contaminated shoes, clothing, food, insects, equipment, and other surfaces.
Vaccination is one of the most important tools available to protect companion rabbits. Our reduced-cost clinics are designed to make this protection available to more Colorado households
