If I adopt a cat or dog do I need to get it spayed or neutered?

All pets adopted from the Odessa Police Animal Shelter will be spayed or neutered per City ordinance unless the animal is too young at the time of adoption and a contract will be administered. Failure to comply will result in a citation.
