Get your animals vaccinated against common core diseases to protect them. The basic core vaccination for puppies and dogs is against parvo and distemper. Puppies need a full series of vaccinations beginning at 6-8 weeks old, after they are weaned, to be fully protected. Another core vaccination for puppies and dogs is against rabies, and that should first be given by 3-4 months of age, and then a year later. For cats, the FVRCP vaccination against 3 common very infectious and deadly diseases for cats, also should be given beginning at 6-8 weeks of age to keep them healthy.

Reserve space online for your animals to be spayed or neutered at The Parker Project (click this link and then click on Schedule Appointment button on that page.) If you go to sign up, and those dates are not available for the kind of spay or neuter (dog or cat) you are looking for, that means that those dates have filled up for those slots. Spaces fill up way ahead! Look at the schedule and see if you are able to travel to other locations that still have space available.
