An all-volunteer non-profit managing a spay/neuter voucher program in Monongalia County, WV Pet overpopulation is an international problem.
M-SNAP volunteers believe that education and a spay/neuter program can make a difference in their own community. Our organization includes four committees - Membership, Community Outreach, Action, and Fund Raising. Our thrift store, ReTails by M-SNAP, located in the Morgantown Mall, provides a large portion of the funds needed to supports the Voucher Program. We also apply for grants and receive s
ubstantial assistance from our community supporters. Since we mailed our first voucher in October of 2008, we have issued thousands of vouchers and paid for thousands of surgeries to spay and neuter dogs and cats that reside in Monongalia County, West Virginia. As our Mission Statement implies, we want to end euthanasia as a means of animal population control At the heart of our mission is a simple belief - no puppy or kitten should be born unwanted or without a forever home!

M-SNAP was represented in Charleston for Spay Awareness Day March 25 and participated in the effort to pass a law to remove the sunset clause that would end the WV Spay Neuter Program. The bill passed and the Department of Agriculture will be offering grants to WV shelters and 501(c)3 organizations for 2026 forward. Six organizations from Mon County received WVSNP grants in 2025 totalling $63,500.
