Spay/Neuter Vouchers

Site Update



Obviously, we love pets! I was thinking about something we could sponsor for this holiday season and came across the Friends of Animals Spay/Neuter Program. That's where you can find vets in your area that accept their spay/neuter vouchers, and someone online buys the voucher for you so you don't have to pay for the operation.

Vets these days are expensive, and spay/neuter is no exception. If you have a pet that needs spay/neutering but you're not sure if you can afford it, check out the Friends of Animals site and put your zip code in. Follow the instructions (contact the veterinarian to confirm the veterinarian's participation and ask about any additional charges) then write down the vet's information.

Send me an email ([email protected]) with the vet's information, some information about your pet, and a photo of the pet with "Aywas" somewhere nearby (for example, on a piece of paper next to the pet). I may select you for a free voucher :)

I'm going to pay for about 10-12 free vouchers depending on turn out.

Your purchase of GP goes toward events like this ♥
Keep making people (and pets) smile!

Awww, this is such a sweet gesture, and for a wonderful cause! All of my pets are spayed already, but I'm thrilled there will be others that can get the chance. This is so important, there's just too many strays and unwanted animals, it breaks my heart.

Oh, Slash, this is so absolutely wonderful! All of my dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, but this is such a wonderful opportunity for people who are low on cash. I know this has come up a couple times in threads here recently.

You rock Slashie!

This is really great Slash.
Events like this make me proud to be a member of Aywas.
I remember the slight panic I had last year because I had a stray thrown on me that had 5 kittens, and then 6 more kittens she was pregnant with before she even finished nursing her first litter.
We ended up taking in 2 of them, and the rest went out through the HART adoption program.
But it would have been nigh impossible for us to come up with the cash if it wasn't for the PAWS program in my area. They took care of 1/2 of the female's spay bill, and all of the male's neuter bill.
I just want to post a little reminder to those that do have problems getting their pets spayed or neutered, call your local animal shelter, and find out what kind of programs they have in your area =).

Coolio, you're going to see my teddy bear being mauled by a Quetzal like 1/8 his size, lol.

oh gawd ... as someone who used to help run a no kill animal shelter THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! We had limited space being no kill and ugh to see the batches of kittens and puppies. Just, thank you.

Aww, this is so sweet. :D I don't think we plan on getting our dog neutered, but it'll be nice for someone else. Someday I am gonna donate a buttload of money. Someday. XD

oh god! you'd be such a lifesaver!

When Bo moved up here with me her moms cat had just had babies and she brought some up with her. I have 3 females now in my house that are around 5 months old and I've been worrying about how I'm going to afford to pay for all three of them. Even if I only got one voucher that would still be a HUGE help since females cost more to spay then just snipping a boy (internal vs external operations)

I have to get an app put in! <3

Our puppies are fixed already, but this is a really nice idea. :3 - Kyu
