Prevent Another Litter Subsidy (PALS) Program

Program assists low income families and individuals to spay or neuter their pets

The PALS (Prevent Another Litter Subsidy) Program is designed to assist qualifying individuals with the cost of spaying or neutering animals in their immediate care.

Low income families (or individuals) can apply for the PALS Program to have their cat or dog spayed or neutered for a fee of $50. The fee covers the costs of medical record keeping, transportation (if required), humane education, and scheduling. To qualify, applicants will need to provide proof of household income or social assistance and complete an application. All pets participating in the program are required to have their full vaccinations with records provided to the clinic staff. If needed, a subsidy vaccination will be administered at the time of surgery.

Approval for assistance is based on flexible criteria and a variety of factors. Applicants must meet at least one of the following eligibility requirements to qualify:

*Assured Income for Severely Handicapped (AISH) Recipients.
*Receiving Social Assistance.
*Individuals/Families whose combined income is below Federal Low Income Cut Off (LICO) before tax.
*Other “special circumstances” as reviewed/approved by PAL Committee.
