Two Ways to Support AZ Statewide Spay and Neuter
Since 2004 – Pet plates have been Arizona’s primary source of funding for the spay and neuter of animals across the state.
In 2017 – A second source of voluntary contributions was added to our plight against pet homelessness – Now, giving all Arizona residents a chance to donate through personal income tax returns.
Arizona communities have made positive changes in improving the outcome for thousands of animals entering Arizona shelters each year, further providing community programs to help Arizonans spay and neuter their pets; but the battle continues and we still need your help – the animals need your help!
By donating to Arizona’s Spay and Neuter of Animals Fund – through the purchase of a Pet Plate for your vehicle or a voluntary contribution through your AZ Resident Personal Income Tax Return 140 – you are helping thousands of animals, through animal welfare shelters and organizations across Arizona; supporting all fifteen (15) counties through grantees.

More Information
Each year, funds raised through Arizona’s Spay and Neuter of Animals Fund are distributed to over 60 spay and neuter projects, statewide. Through a grant process, led by The Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee, animal welfare organizations across Arizona have the opportunity to receive funding to provide spay and neuter support to thousands of animals across our state. Each county in Arizona is provided funding through grantees. These life-saving projects are led by various agencies, local to the region recieveing funding. Opportunities are available to non-profit animal welfare organizations and shelters (including those with community spay and neuter programs), and municipal and tribal animal welfare agencies.
