Low Cost Spay/Neuter
Vouchers Available
Beginning in January 2008, the
Beartooth Humane Alliance will once again provide 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, $25 for a female cat, $30 for a male dog,
and $40 - $50 for a female dog (depending on the dog’s
weight). The vouchers are for pets -- no feral
cats, please.
If you are in a low-income situation
and wish to have your pet sterilized, you can obtain a
voucher application by calling 672-6960 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 672-6960.
