I. The S.N.I.P. Voucher program is for pet cats and dogs. The program provides a voucher for a pet owner to spay and/or neuter up to three pets in their household for FREE. Since the program's funds are limited, we ask that the voucher be used by pet owners who can not afford this surgery for their pet(s).
II. People may apply for a S.N.I.P. voucher if they are on a financial assistance program like Medicaid, CHIP, Food Stamps, WIC, SSD, Major VA Disability, Section 8 (HUD) or if they have a copy of last year's tax return indicating household income not exceeding the federal low income guidelines. A family of four would need to make less than $33,000 to qualify.
III. When a person applies for a voucher, they must include proof of their income status and/or of the assistance program they are affiliated with. After HSMV approves and processes the application, the person is sent a voucher which can be used at a participating veterinarian. The voucher typically allows for up to three pets to be fixed at no charge. There are some exceptions to this three pet limit and individual arrangements will be made through our office, i.e. for a mother and litter.
