How much would all this cost?

My vet charges $275 for spaying, not sure about neutering.
If you don't have the money for both right now, you can get a shot for the female that will cause her to miscarry the puppies. But you have to do it within a couple weeks of conception. It is basically an overdose of hormone. It costs about $30. Then you could neuter the male, and spay the female later.
I had to do this for a female that I rescued. I didn't realize she was in heat until it was too late. Got the shot, then had her spayed a couple of months later. You would have to go ahead and neuter the male though, because the shot causes her to stay in heat for another 2-3 weeks, and she would just get pregnant again.
