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.

APPLICATIONS CLOSED
Thank you for your overwhelming interest in the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association’s Pet Overpopulation Program. Due to an extremely high volume of applications, we have reached our current capacity and are no longer accepting new submissions at this time.
While we wish we could assist every pet and owner in need, we are a small organization and simply cannot meet the demand we’ve received. We are working diligently to review the applications we already have and will follow up with those individuals as soon as possible.
Please do not email to request an exception or additional forms – Our inbox is also experiencing very high volume, and we are unable to respond to individual requests at this time.
We deeply appreciate your understanding, patience, and your commitment to responsible pet ownership.
