Spay/Neuter
Boulder, Colorado
6-1-25. – Disposition of Impounded Animals.
(e) An animal adoption agency shall spay or neuter an unneutered dog or cat before releasing the animal to a person adopting the animal and shall require such person to pay for such procedure. If the adoption agency determines that it is medically inadvisable to spay or neuter the dog or cat before the time of adoption, the adoption agency shall enter into a conditional contract of sale, on a form approved by the city manager, which shall provide, without limitation, that the adopter is given temporary custody of the animal, but title to the animal remains in the city until a date certain. If the affidavit of a veterinarian that the animal has been spayed or neutered is not delivered to the adoption agency on or before such date, the adopter shall surrender the animal to the adoption agency on or before such date and shall be subject to prosecution for failure to do so.
