Don't forget to check out the low cost spay and neuter clinics.
ASPCA | Free and Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Database. Neutering may not help marking at this age. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for marking, and the testes make the bulk of testosterone, but the adrenal gland makes some too. Since the testes are removed during a neuter testosterone in the blood will be greatly reduced, and after a month the level will be very low, but if the marking is firmly established, it probably will never be completely eliminated. You may want to get teeth checked during a neuter as well.
