The SNAC van picks up your pet and returns it to the FoSCA Haven in Sylvania; however, if you want to provide you own transportation to the SNAC clinic in Ridgeland, SC, you can.
If using Dr. Pat Dyar, call 912.564.1121 to make the appointment.
On the day of your pet’s appointment:
- Take
the voucher with you. You should be prepared to show your
photo ID to the clinic or FoSCA representative.
- Take
your pet’s current rabies certificate if you have one. If
you do not have rabies paperwork with you, the vet must give
your pet a rabies shot, as required by law— and the cost must
be covered by you. A rabies tag is not sufficient proof of
vaccination. A rabies tag is not sufficient proof of vaccination.
- If
using SNAC, be on time for pick-up (and return) and have your
pet in a hard-sided, plastic crate. No wire cages. SNAC provides
FREE transport for Screven County. The SNAC van picks up and
returns your pet to the parking lot at the FoSCA Haven, 932
West Ogeechee Street, Sylvania. You can also choose to take
your pet directly to the SNAC clinic. Either way, if you must
cancel your appointment, be sure to call SNAC as soon as possible
so someone else can use the appointment.
- You must pay in cash when you pick up your pet. The voucher only covers spay or neuter services. Any other services you request for your pet will be your responsibility.
Feral Cat Program
FoSCA will provide a $20 Fix voucher to anyone, regardless of financial eligibility, who wants to spay or neuter a feral cat. They will also be given a 3-year rabies shot at the time.

Feral cats will have their ears tipped at the time of the procedure so that we know in the future that they have been fixed. Eartipping is the removal of the tip of a cat’s left ear (approximately 3/8”). It is an effective and universally accepted method to identify a neutered and vaccinated feral cat.

Our Mission:
To provide no-kill solutions to reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs through education, rehabilitation and re-homing.
