Spaces are available still available for the state sterilization funding program available to qualified residents. The program begins on April 1 (while funds last) at various participating veterinary offices in the state to help qualified residents spay or neuter their pets for only $10. 

Because spaces go quickly, Shore Veterinarians is encouraging residents to sign up early in February for the program before all the slots are taken. Shore Veterinarians participates in this state program at all four of their locations in Seaville, Williamstown, Hammonton and Egg Harbor Township.

Residents in the state can spay and neuter their pets at various veterinary offices for only $10 if they qualify for the state sterilization funding program. Animals must be current with their rabies shot, or will be required to vaccinate the day of the surgery. These residents must receive one of the following: Food Stamps; Medicaid; General Public Assistance; Rental Assistance; Aid to Families with Dependent Children; Lifeline Utility Credit; Tenants Lifeline Assistance; Supplemental Security Income; or Pharmaceutical Assistance to Aged and Disabled.

To find out more information  to see  if you qualify for this State Sterilization Spay and Neuter offer, or for more information on spay and neuter, assistance call 609-272-8777.

If you see animal neglect and animals left outside without proper shelter and water, please immediately call your municipal township clerk and animal control officers or police. Taking the time to make the phone call could possibly save an animal's life. Local animal control officers are required to respond to emergencies in most cases within 30- 45 minutes of being reported. All animals by law must have proper shelter and access to fresh food and water.
