In the Locker Room (Pre-Surgery):

Dogs that have not been spayed or neutered are not yet eligible for adoption.
While they are awaiting spay/neuter they may be placed on a pre-surgical hold for $200 this would guarantee that you get to adopt when they are available. This fee is applied to their adoption fee.
Some dogs may also be eligible for foster placement until surgery is complete.
