The Family Pet Assistance Fund helps income-qualified families spay or neuter their pets when the cost of surgery would otherwise prevent care. The goal of this program is to prevent unplanned litters and help pets remain healthy in the homes that love them.
Because funding is limited, all applicants are screened to ensure assistance reaches the families and pets who need it most.
What to Expect
- A short application describing your pet and your situation.
- Verification of income qualification.
- Approval before scheduling surgery.
- A reduced cost based on a sliding scale.
Clients are asked to contribute what they reasonably can toward their pet’s care, with a minimum contribution required.
Program Guidelines
This program is intended to assist families experiencing financial hardship and pets that may otherwise remain unaltered due to cost.
Priority is given to mixed-breed pets, adopted animals, and pets obtained through rescue or rehoming.
Pets purchased from breeders or designer dog breeding programs are generally not eligible for this assistance unless exceptional financial hardship can be documented. This helps ensure that limited assistance funds are directed toward families and pets with the greatest need.
Assistance is limited and not guaranteed.
If you do not qualify for the Family Pet Assistance Fund, affordable spay and neuter services are available through our regular clinic pricing.
