Do you have a dog or cat you need to get "fixed" (spayed or neutered)? If you live in the City of Sacramento and meet our income guidelines, we may be able to help. The City of Sacramento's Animal Care Services has a program to help get pets fixed and vaccinated for a very low cost. Read more below to see if you qualify.

If you think you qualify, click the link below ("Click Here to Apply!") to complete and submit your application. One of our volunteers will call you within a few days to follow-up. Please note that volunteers may be returning your call from a blocked number.

If you prefer to apply via phone, you can leave a message on our spay/neuter hot line, 24 hours a day: 916-808-7383 (808-PETE).

Qualifying: Do You Live in the City?

This program is only for people who live in the CITY of Sacramento (not the County). Some people aren't sure if they live in the City or the County of Sacramento. If you're not sure, here's the easiest way to tell:

- If the street signs in your neighborhood are GREEN, you're in the City.
- If the street signs in your neighborhood are WHITE, you're in the County.

But if you don't feel like getting out of your chair to go look at the street signs, you can also check on-line.

- Go to the City of Sacramento's website at http://www.cityofsacramento.org/council/index.html
- At the top of the page, enter your address in the blank where it says "To find your Council member, enter your address."
- Then click the button that reads "Find my council district."
- If the site finds your City Council member, then you're in the City. But if it says "Sorry, the address was not found" then you probably live in the County.

If you live in the County, please visit the County's website at www.sacanimal.org

Qualifying: What's Your Income?

The Community Spay/Neuter Program helps people with lower incomes get their pets spayed and neutered. To qualify customers, we use income guidelines published by the federal government. They depend on how many people live in your household. Whether you call us or apply online, please be prepared to tell us the total income of everyone in your household. This will help us determine if you qualify for this program.

If you make more than our income guidelines allow, check out the "Other Spay/Neuter Options" on the left side of this page.
