Spay-Neuter Vouchers | Tri-Lakes Humane Society

Affordable Spay/Neuter Assistance Program

Our Spay/Neuter Program has grown from its humble beginnings. It was initially established to alter shelter animals and transformed into a vital community program in 2010. The program offers vouchers to low-income residents in the Tri-Lakes region. These vouchers offset the cost of the procedure at participating veterinary offices and mobile clinics in the area. With the help of this program, we are seeing a decline in the number of stray and unwanted animals in the Tri-Lakes community. This program is possible thanks to the donations of our generous supporters.

Program Requirements:

In order to qualify for a voucher you must live within one of the towns that we provide shelter services for and be able to prove a low income household status or receive public assistance.
