Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

Many shelters do neuter dogs before placing them up for adoption. As long as they are old enough, usually 3-4 months old they can be neutered. Due to the cost some rescues and shelters don't do this until they are adopted. Check around your area and you may find ones up for adoption that are already neutered.
