Los Angeles Spay and Neuter Laws

Spay/Neuter

Provider: 
Department of Animal Services (ANI)

Description

As of October I, 2008 all cats and dogs in the City of Los Angeles are required by law to be spayed or neutered unless they meet certain exceptions. Spaying or neutering a pet is a simple surgery that prevents your pet from having puppies or kittens. Once spayed or neutered your pet will enjoy a healthier and happier life, save you money, and help reduce the number of animals euthanized.Coupons with a value of $30 are available to assist residents with the cost of spay/neuter surgery for owned pets at participating veterinarians. Supplies are limited. Vouchers are distributed at all six Animal Care Centers with presentation of proof of residency in the    City of Los Angeles. Included with your spay/neuter voucher will be a list of participating veterinary hospitals. Select one of the veterinarians from the list and schedule an appointment for your companion animal's sterilization. Be sure to mention that you wish    to use the $30 Discount Voucher as     partial payment for the surgery. At the time of the appointment, present your voucher to   the vet hospital. Please note that the number of vouchers is limited by available funds and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis each month. Free Vouchers are available to City residents who meet very low income limitations as established by the United States Department of Housing (HUD). These Vouchers have a value of $70 that covers the entire cost of surgery. Free spay/neuter Vouchers are distributed at all six Animal Care Centers with presentation of a DWP bill showing Lifeline or Low Income qualification. If you do     not have a DWP bill, you must complete a Very Low Income Benefit Application.  Applications are available on our website or you can pick up an application at your local animal care center. You may also drop off your application (and attachments showing     your income qualification) back at your local animal care center, or mail it to: Low Income Spay/Neuter Program Los Angeles Animal Services 221 N. Figueroa St. Suite 500 Los Angeles, CA 90012 If you qualify, a $70    Voucher will be mailed to you. Included with   your spay/neuter Voucher will be a list of participating veterinary hospitals. Select one of the veterinarians from the list and   schedule an appointment for your companion animal's sterilization. Be sure to mention   that you wish to use the Free Voucher as full payment    for the surgery. At the time of the appointment, present your free Voucher to the vet hospital. Please note that the number of Vouchers is limited by available funds and distributed on a first-come, first-served each month. Any other services outside the cost     of sterilization would be at the owner's expense.
