About the Spay/Neuter Program

What does the Spay/Neuter Program do?

• The program reimburses counties and municipalities (or contracted entities) for direct costs of spay/neuter procedures performed on dogs/cats owned by low-income individuals.
• A portion of funding for the program goes towards education and outreach on the importance of controlling the animal population.

How is the Spay/Neuter Program funded?

• The program is funded in part when members of the public select the Animal Lovers "I Care" license plate.
• $20 from each plate goes directly toward supporting procedure reimbursement and educational initiatives.
