WHAT IS THE ALTERCLINIC TRANSPORTATION CLINIC?
The AlterClinic transport provides a low-cost spay/neuter service that picks animals up from WCHS, transports them to AlterClinic to receive their spay/neuter surgery, and then drops them back off at WCHS for pickup by their owners that same day.
HOW TO SCHEDULE:
All scheduling must be done by calling AlterClinic at (234) 804-3064. The week before the scheduled transport, the transport coordinator will call you to get the appointments scheduled.
