Operation Snip and Spay

Rescue Me WV (RMWV) only provides a voucher for spaying or neutering your pet. 

Rescue Me WV is not responsible for any medical complications or issues that may arise during or after the procedure. It is your responsibility to ensure that the designated veterinarian is qualified and suitable for performing the surgery on your pet. You must speak with the veterinarian’s office to discuss any risks that may or may not apply to your pet and to discuss any concerns you may have prior to the procedure. By submitting this application and proceeding with the procedure, you agree to release Rescue Me WV from any liability or responsibility related to the spaying or neutering and vaccination of your pet with the designated veterinarian.
