That's so wonderful that you decided to do it. I can tell you really care for your dog and want to do what's best for him. Thanks for researching and making an informed decision.

I agree, that shelter should neuter the males also.

It might be a little scary when you drop him off at the vet but keep yourself busy and try not to dwell on it. He won't be gone too long and when you pick him up, you can give him extra loving!

I have heard about those implants before but never actually heard about anyone doing it. In this book I have, it talks about unusual gifts you can buy your dog. One gift is "neuticals", which are attachable fake equipment for dogs who have lost the real thing. They also have sympathy cards saying "Heard you got fixed... didn't even know you were broken."
