SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) sign-ups at the library EVERY Tuesday evening from 6-7PM. Program is sponsored by the Humane Society of Wilkes VOLUNTEERS to assist ALL income levels to get their pets spayed/neutered and reduce pet overpopulation in Wilkes County.

Since the program is INCOME RELATED you MUST BRING PROOF OF INCOME. A check stub, last years taxes, bank statement, anything that can help determine your yearly income so that we can establish the level of assistance you qualify for. If you are on public assistance a FOOD STAMP CARD (EBT) or MEDICAID CARD is acceptable as proof of income and automatically qualifies you for the maximum assistance available. Also, be prepared to PAY the full amount due because we issue you a voucher to take to the participating Vet to pay for the procedure. Cash or Checks only (no debit/credit cards).

FOR EXAMPLE: Person with income at or below $15,000 per year - cat or dog spay/neuter will cost $25 (a SAVINGS of between $75-$100 depending on the Vet). If pet is NOT current with rabies vaccination there will be an additional charge of $7 for rabies vac. bring the total to $32.

Income above $15,000 but LESS than $35,000 per year - Dog spay/neuter $55, Cat $40. With rabies vac. total would be $62 & $47.

All persons with income ABOVE $35,000 per year will receive a voucher good for $30 off the cost of spay/neuter for a dog and $25 off for cats.
