State Funded Spay/Neuter Programs: How New Hampshire Became the Model!
Read the whole story of this program
New Hampshire's state-funded spay/neuter program was launched on July 1,1994. This statewide program is funded by a $2 surcharge on dog licenses and provides for s/n of two populations: (1) cats and dogs of low-income pet owners can be altered and vaccinated for $15; and (2) cats and dogs adopted from a NH shelter can be altered for $25.
Stats
*From 1994-2002, the program altered 34,265 animals.
*New Hampshire's euthanasia rate declined 77%
*At 2.2 euthanasias per thousand people, they have the lowest euthanasia rate in the nation.
How Cool is that?
At Imagine Humane, we are impressed with a spay/neuter program that is self-sustaining and is a successful veterinary/animal protection partnership.
Adopt or Adapt
This program is funded through a dog license surcharge as New Hampshire has state mandated licensing for dogs. Once you determine a reliable source of on-going funding for your state, the rest of the model can be applied to your situation.
Peter Marsh is happy to assist non-profit organizations interested in implementing or adapting this strategy.
