Many shelters do actually a require pre-adoption spay-neuters, so maybe in an area where the shelter is going to care of that for you and you will adopting an animal that has already been spayed or neutered. But many places don't have the resources to do that and we will ask you to commit to spay neuter, once you have adopted this animal.
