🚨 Good news for Lee & Robeson County pet owners! 🚨

Due to appointment cancellations and some selected applicants not paying their copays, we still have a limited number of spay/neuter vouchers available for Lee and Robeson County residents!

Appointments must be scheduled during the month of August.

If selected, you'll pay just:
🐶 $50 copay for dogs
🐱 $25 copay for cats

Spaying and neutering helps prevent unwanted litters, improves your pet's health, and makes a positive impact on our community.

Funding is limited, so don't wait! Apply for a chance to receive a voucher here:

Please note: Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will receive a voucher. Selected applicants will be contacted via email if funding is available.
