Pet overpopulation is a serious problem. Spay or neuter your pet.
Pet overpopulation is a serious issue. Every year, millions of dogs and cats die in American shelters. While some have health or temperament problems, the majority are simply unwanted and eventually euthanized for lack of adopters. Spaying and neutering pets is vital to keeping the population in check. Many shelters or nonprofit animal rescues offer low-cost spay/neuters for the animals in their care before adoption. Money is needed to fund these operations, and there are organizations that grant funds for this goal.
PetSmart Charities
PetSmart Charities has a spay/neuter initiative, in which they partner with animal shelters and animal welfare agencies in providing surgeries to help end pet overpopulation. In 2007, PetSmart Charities gave $5 million to Texas animal welfare programs, with a goal of matching the grant by private donations to total $10 million. The company's research identified the state as one with the highest number of adoptable animals euthanized in shelters. In 2008, they launched Spay Los Angeles in California. Overall, PetSmart Charities have given grants for building spay/neuter clinics, training and research for high-volume, low-cost spaying and neutering services.

DJ & T Foundation and Spay USA
Working through the DJ & T Foundation, Spay USA offers two kinds of grants. The first is the spay/neuter clinic grant, which allocates funds to registered tax-exemption-profit, low-cost spay/neuter clinics, including mobile clinics. Start-up grants for such clinics are available. The second grant is the Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), given to 501 (c) 3 organizations with public outreach programs for pets and may be used only for the spaying/neutering of those animals. SNAP grants cannot be used for sterilizing strays, ferals or any animal not in a qualified program. Applicants must send in detailed financial information about their organization and the need for a grant, with the amount of the desired grant stated.
