The purpose of this state wide program is to address the pet overpopulation situation by implementing spay/neuter programs for low income families along with an educational program about responsible pet ownership. Statistics are showing that pet sterilization for low income families effectively reduces pet overpopulation. The Oklahoma Veterinary medical Association believes this is a win-win program because it addresses a societal problem, governing agencies win by reducing expenditures for animal control, and fewer animals will need to be euthanized.
A fund established by the Oklahoma State Legislature to render financial support for pet sterilization for low income families and to provide educational programs on responsible pet ownership. Click here to donate to the Pet Overpopulation Program.
