Euthanasia and Cremation
Saying Goodbye:
There is one difficult aspect of sharing your life with a beloved animal - saying goodbye. We hope you have had many years of love and enjoyment with your friend. Regardless of the length of time spent with any loved one, the experience is always worthwhile, although it may be painful for a time. In the case of relationship between a dog or cat and its human companion, it is the person who must make the sometimes difficult decision of when the right time comes to say goodbye.
Euthanasia:
Butte Humane Society offers low-cost euthanasia and after-care services by appointment only at our Spay & Neuter Clinic. Call 530-343-7917 ext. 2 to schedule an appointment. Price is determined by weight - please refer to the chart below. To minimize stress and handling, please inform us of your animal's weight beforehand, if known.
Owner-Present euthanasia is available by appointment only, and is an additional $25. This option allows you to accompany your pet as the euthanasia is performed in our medical room.
***Please note that we will not euthanize healthy, adoptable animals.***
