Anabelle was spayed when she was 7 or 8. She was brought into a vet as a stray with a stillborn litter and the vet decided to go ahead and spay her when he removed the puppies. She was also very underweight, not to mention the slew of other health problems including heartworm positive.

Dogs don't have menopause and so the obvious reason to spay (avoid litters) still holds true regardless of how old they are.
