The Beartooth Humane Alliance once again is providing vouchers to qualified Carbon County residents for low-cost spay-neuter services for dogs and cats. The program aims to help reduce pet overpopulation by providing pet sterilization services to county residents who cannot afford the procedure for their pets, such as families with limited incomes, senior citizens on fixed incomes, and hardship situations.

The vouchers will be honored at Grizzly Peak Animal Hospital (Red Lodge), Bridger Veterinary Clinic (Bridger), and Red Lodge Veterinary Clinic (Red Lodge) beginning January 1 until available funding is exhausted.  Residents will make a co-payment of $5 for a male cat, $29 for a female cat, $35 for a male dog weighing less than 100 lbs, $50 for a male dog weighing 100 lbs or more, and $47 - $59 for a female dog (depending on the dog’s weight).  The vouchers are for pets -- no feral cats, please.  One voucher per household allowed.

If you are in a low-income situation and wish to have your pet sterilized, you can obtain a voucher application by calling 406-446-3500 or by filling out the application and mailing it with your co-payment to BHA. When your application is approved, BHA will mail you a voucher with program details. See our information sheet for more details, including qualification criteria.

When you receive your voucher, you can make an appointment for surgery with any of the three vet offices listed above. You will present the voucher to the clinic at the time of surgery. Each voucher is good for one routine spay-neuter surgical procedure. Any surgical complications or other services are not covered by the voucher.

There is limited funding for the vouchers. So please don’t delay – spay or neuter your pet today! If you have questions, please call 406-446-3500.
