HELP! FIX ME Maine's Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program
You can have your cat fixed for $10, and your dog fixed for $20. Let us help you fix your cat or dog. There aren't enough homes for all of them. If you can't afford to fix your cat or dog, call 1-800-367-1317 or (207) 287-7621. You may be eligible for the state's low-cost spay/neuter program, if you receive or are eligible for one of the following programs: Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability (SSD), and/or Maine Care (Medicaid).

GAHS Spay Incentive Certificate
In an effort to cut down on the number of people who continually bring in litters of puppies or kittens from the same mothers, the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society offers spaying assistance for these moms. The owner of the mother is issued an Incentive Certificate to be used at an area veterinarian. Dogs are given a certificate for $125.00 and cats a certificate for $75.00.

Neutering Discount Assistance
The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society has funds available to offer neutering assistance to families in financial need. $25.00 for dogs and $25.00 for cats. We do have certificates available now and can be used at area veterinarians. Please call or drop by the shelter to see if you qualify.

Prevent a Litter (The PAL Fund)

To help reduce the number of pets being surrendered to shelters, the SPCA encourages spaying or neutering of companion animals to help with overpopulation. Spaying or neutering will not only prevent unwanted litters, it will also help your pet live a healthier and longer life. The SPCA has developed the PAL (Prevent a Litter) Fund to assist area residents who would like to have their companion animals spayed or neutered but cannot afford the full-cost. While we cannot pay the entire fee for an animal to be neutered, the guardian/owner is only responsible for one-third of the final cost - the SPCA pays one-third with the participating veterinary practice covering the remaining third. We also ask that a condition of receiving a certificate that you volunteer some time at the shelter.

For Waldo Residents only-

http://www.waldocountyhumanesociety.org/programs.htm

Spay and Neuter Assistance Program

We offer certificates to assist the pet owner with the cost of spaying
or neutering their pet. The program is for those who cannot afford to
have the spaying or neutering done. The Waldo County Humane Society
feels that spaying and neutering is one of the most responsible things
a pet owner can do and therefore we will assist those who need help.
If you want to have your pet spayed or neutered and do not feel that you
can afford to do it, please contact us to learn more about our program.
Please call: 852-5033

WCHS Emergency Fund
The Waldo County Humane Society operates the WCHS Emergency Fund.
The Fund provides assistance to the owner of an injured animal. The
program will assist with emergency veterinarian bills in the amount
of 40% of the bill to a maximum of $250.00. Referrals to this program
come through the Veterinarian. Again this is a program for those with
financial need.

Rabies Clinics
The Waldo County Humane Society sponsors free rabies clinics in
spring and early fall of each year. These clinics offer the opportunity
for everyone to have their pet immunized against rabies. Each year
we rotate among the different towns of Waldo County so that
hopefully everyone will have the chance to bring their pet to the clinic
that is close to them.

For residents of all counties:
