Any dog or cat adopted from a local humane society or animal care facility must be spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days of adoption if the dog or cat is over six months of age. If the dog or cat is less than six months of age upon adoption, it shall be spayed or neutered by a licensed veterinarian upon reaching the age of six months. An exception is made only if a licensed veterinarian certifies that said animal is physically unable to undergo such an operation within the time limitations. The individual adopting the dog or cat must sign a written agreement with the adopting facility guaranteeing that such animal shall be neutered or spayed within the time limitations specified in this section.
