There are many benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered. They will be happier, healthier, and live longer lives! They will be less focused on roaming off and finding a boyfriend or girlfriend, and more focused on you and your family. Neutering male dogs and cats eliminates the risk of testicular cancer, roaming, and other annoying behaviors associated with mating, like spraying and fighting in male cats. Spaying a female dog or cat reduces the risk of breast cancer, and eliminates the risk of ovarian cancer as well as pyometra, a very serious infection of the uterus. In addition to all of that - you'll never have to worry about your dog or cat having puppies or kittens!
While spaying and neutering your pets is the right thing to do, we understand that it can be pretty expensive.

We have proudly partnered with Arkansas Animal Rescue Foundation to provide financial assistance for spay and neuter through a voucher program. Applicants must reside in either Pope or Johnson County.

Apply for a voucher by clicking this link, or you may print a physical copy of the application and mail it in to us or email us a copy at info@needypawsanimalshelter.org. Please allow up to 3 to 5 weeks to receive your voucher after you submitted your application.

We recommend you wait until you receive your voucher to schedule an appointment with your vet.
​Vouchers are active for 30 days after date of issue.
