March 1, 2024 – Mesa County Animal Services is collaborating with local veterinarians to offer spay and neuter vouchers to Mesa County pet owners through the Animal Assistance Foundation’s (AAF) generous funding. 

The cost of a spay/neuter procedure is $25 with a voucher present at participating veterinarians from March 1, 2024, to Sept. 15, 2024. This opportunity is made possible through the joint effort of AAF’s generous grant and the following veterinarians' agreement to provide the procedures at a substantially reduced cost. 

Vouchers are available at the following participating veterinarian offices

Keep in mind there is a limited number of vouchers for 2024, and the issuance of the vouchers is entirely at the discretion of each participating veterinarian's office. Individuals may be asked to communicate their financial needs or unique circumstances requiring the voucher.

Pet owners are required to provide proof of current rabies vaccination at the time of the procedure. The rabies vaccination cost is NOT covered by the $25 co-pay. In the scenario of a pet without a current rabies vaccination, the owner will need to pay for that service. 

Thanks to the collaboration of MCAS, AAF, and participating local veterinarians, our community is contributing to longer and healthier lives for the animals of Mesa County. Managing overpopulation in our community helps ensure all pets, whether temporarily living in our shelter, a loving home, or as community cats, have access to the Five Freedoms: Freedom from hunger and thirst; freedom from discomfort; freedom from pain, injury or disease; freedom to express normal behavior; and freedom from fear and distress.
