Spay and Nueter vouchers available at Calaveras Humane Society

Calaveras County  and Bear Valley Residents – NOW is the time for you to get your dog or cat spayed or neutered!  We can help.
The Calaveras Humane Society can help defray some of the expense of spay and neuter operations on dogs and cats.  We offer discount vouchers to county residents throughout the year.
Thanks to the Winterceek Grant Foundation and matching funds by CHS, a CHS spay/neuter voucher will pay the following towards your vet bill:
$90 for a female dog
$60 for a female cat
$60 for a male dog
$40 for a male cat
The vouchers are only for Calaveras County and Bear Valley residents and must be used at a Calaveras County veterinarian office. Those wanting to go to veterinarians outside of Calaveras County can still receive a spay/neuter voucher, however the voucher will be worth half of the above rate: $45 for a female dog, $30 for a male dog, $30 for a female cat, and $20 for a male cat.
Special Note:  The Ryan Newman Foundation and matching funds by the CHS  for Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Malamutes, Doberman Pinschers, Chow Chows, Akitas, and mixes of these dog breeds has now expired; however, the regular spay and neuter assistance program is available for these breeds.


All spay and neuter vouchers expire 90 days after the issue date.
To obtain discount vouchers please call us at 209-736-9417 or pick one up at Calaveras Animal Services located at  891 Mountain Ranch Road, San Andreas, CA.  You must present the voucher at the time of your veterinary appointment, and it is your responsibility to pay the remaining charge for the surgery.
With assistance from the CHS Spay/Neuter Voucher Program, more than 1,600 dogs and cats were spayed or neutered during the period July 1, 2011 through April 1, 2012. The CHS spent more than $64,000 to help defray the cost for spay/neuter surgeries.
