SNAP (Spay-Neuter Aid Program) is designed to help
persons on public assistant with the spay/neutering of their pets.
If you are on any of the following programs: Unemployment, Disability,
Medicaid, or WIC, you may qualify for the SNAP Program.
Applications for the program can be picked up at any of these locations:
Council on Aging, LaGrange Animal Clinic, Northside Veterinary Clinic,
or South Milford Veterinary Hospital. (Must be a resident of
LaGrange county, Indiana to participate.)
Complete the application, mail it to the address listed on the form.
If accepted, the approved (must have AWA embossed Seal to be valid) form
will be sent back to your veterinarian for the spay/neuter.
If you pet needs to be re-homes and you can keep the pet until a suitable home can be found, we will post pictures of the pet on a PetFinder site so they can be seen by people all over the country. You would need to furnish a digital photo (if needed, we can come and take a photo), answer a questionnaire about your pet, and keep the pet in your home until an adoptive family or Foster home can be found. For more information, please call Debbie 260-463-3406.
Each year in observance of "The Doris Day Spay Day", the Animal Welfare Association launches our "Spay Day" Promotion. Beginning February 1st each year, the Animal Welfare Association with the participation of our local veterinarians sponsor "Spay/Neuter Vouchers." If you plan on having your pet spayed or neutered, check with your vet to see if they are participating and if they have vouchers. Promotion will run through the end of February or until vouchers run out.
C.A.R.E Project - Companion Animals Resources & Education
It is unfortunate that many adoptable animals are being destroyed because of limited space and disinterest at the present, unsuitable shelter, and by the present County Government. It is our goal to raise the funds to purchase (or have donated) property with suitable structure or property to build the proper structure to achieve these goals:
-
Provide an adoption center with space for holding so we can work with rescues to place dogs in foster homes or that they can be adopted into good, loving homes.
-
The means to spay and neuter them, so the pets being adopted are not contributing to a continuing pet over-population problem.
-
Provide education on animal care/guardianship with other needed animal related services for the residents of LaGrange County.
By providing a private Adoption/Education Center A.W.A. will be contributing a positive environment and experience for both county residents wanting to volunteer and adopt companion pets and companion pets needing permanent homes. We will not be providing animal control or a county animal shelter.
We have not given up on our dream of a private shelter. The county shelter continues to be inadequate.
The Animal Welfare Association, Inc. will reimburse to the veterinarian one half of the cost of the shots, up to $25.00 (twenty five dollars). The remaining amount is the responsibility of the pet owner. Mail approved
(must have AWA embossed Seal to be approved) application to AWA • P.O. Box 575 • Howe, IN 46746 for payment.Any questions, contact Debbie Bontrager 260-463-3406
