Spay/Neuter Program
Did you know that there is financial assistance for low-income families to get their pets spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters?
If you are receiving government assistance, such as Food Stamps or Medicaid OR if your household income is below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines for the number of people in your household, then you are eligible for the North Carolina Spay/neuter program. It only costs $20 to have your pet(s) “fixed”. They must be 6 months or older to be eligible for the voucher. Voucher is only good up to 30 days from printed date.
Please help your local animal shelter euthanize fewer animals by helping to prevent unwanted litters from being born.

Vouchers are on Tuesdays from 9AM-1PM!
NO vouchers are given in the months of March, June, September or December.
These vouchers are for PETS ONLY! If you need assistance with feral cats, please view our TNVR Program page under the Support Us tab.

Step 3: Pay $20 nonrefundable co-pay per pet.
Step 4: Obtain voucher in person to be presented at vet clinic for surgery and make the appointment for the surgery at your earliest opportunity.
You will be responsible for any other vetting and vaccinations that you may request to have done at the vet clinic. The voucher will only cover the costs associated with the surgery for the spay/neuter. Limit of 4 vouchers.
NOTE: If your pet is not current on their rabies vaccination you will have to pay the vet to have that vaccine administered. NC law states that any cat or dog that is 4 months of age or older must have a current rabies vaccination. If you need assistance, we do offer free Rabies Clinic Events. Please check our Events & News tab to see when our next clinic will be.
If you are not a Scotland County resident please contact Claw & Paws Of NC of Rockingham to see if you qualify for assistance.
