Bates Spay Foundation (for female dogs and cats)
The Bates Spay Foundation runs on a $1,200 monthly budget and is open to all residents of Carroll County, regardless of their financial situation. It pays half the cost of spaying an animal when the procedure is performed at our clinic. The other half is paid by the owner of the animal. The price the owner pays is $27.50 for cats. For dogs, costs start at $35 and go up based on the weight of the dog. Spaying costs run higher if the animal is pregnant or in heat.
Neuter Vouchers (for male dogs and cats)
The neuter foundation is currently funded by an anonymous private donor who contributes $300 monthly to this worthy cause. Since funding for this program is limited and entirely dependent on donors, neuter vouchers are issued only to Carroll County residents who fall below 125% of the poverty level or are receiving some form of government aid (food stamps, Medicaid, etc.). Any Carroll County resident who doesn’t meet these guidelines is ineligible and needs to take their pet to a local veterinarian to have it neutered. With the voucher, the owner’s cost of neutering is $15 for cats and $30 to $45 for dogs, based on weight.
The spay and neuter programs are vital to the health of animals in our community. Over 300 animals have been spayed or neutered just in the first quarter of 2008. At the current rate, approximately 1,200 animals will likely be altered at the shelter this year. Left unaltered, at the modest rate of two litters per year and two surviving offspring per litter, these animals could have collectively generated another 4,800 unwanted animals in one year alone.
