Spay and Neuter Pawlicy

DogBoy feels it is his duty to do what he can to help stop pet overpopulation in Central Texas. The simple truth is we see TOO MANY innocent dogs hit by cars or euthanized because people aren't doing the right thing by spaying or neutering their animals. To clarify, we are not against breeding, we just think many people breed their dogs for the wrong reasons.

So what does this mean for you and your dogs? Well if you want to board with us, it means this:

• All dogs over the age of 6 months must be spayed or neutered to board here.
• Our only exceptions to the policy are pedigreed dogs who are either working or active in show, titled but retired show dogs, or dogs with a doctor's note stating that sedation for spay or neuter would be life threatening to the animal (i.e. heart defect, epilepsy, etc.).
• Show dog means that he/she is an active show dog with a working plan towards a Grand Champion title. The dog's show plan would be required, any completed legs towards the title, and registration to the shows according to the dog's plan We would also need documentation from a professional on the dog's quality of breeding that says he/she is mentally and physically qualified for breeding and documentation on why you plan to breed him. Sounds like a lot of trouble. We think it's worth it.

We are happy to have the support of all the local animal shelters and rescue groups who think this is a step in the right direction! Please don't hesitate to call the office or email us if you have questions regarding this policy.
