According to mapsonus.com, Shelbyville and Nicholasville are somewhat close to one another. What I suggest you do, cutie_chica is get out your yellow pages and start calling vets in the area. IF you have a local shelter, spca, whatever in the area, call there first and ask for referrals. IF you have a pet store or groomer in the area, call there, and see who they recommend for spay/nuetering. Don't just rely on one attempt, or get discouraged so easy.
