Throughout the month
of August, Long Beach Animal Care Services will be distributing spay/neuter
vouchers in person at the PD Pitchford Companion Animal Village. Vouchers
are only valid at participating veterinary clinics and will only be distributed
to Long Beach residents and the Long Beach Animal Care Services contract cities
of Los Alamitos, Cerritos, Seal Beach and Signal Hill. Only one voucher
will be distributed per household. Additional vouchers may be distributed
upon request and with supervisor approval.
"We usually offer a limited number of vouchers on the first Thursday of the month, however through the generous support of our community we are able to increase this program for the entire month of August," says Ted Stevens, Manager of Animal Care Services. In all five cities within our jurisdiction dogs are required to be licensed. In Long Beach cats are required to be licensed with current rabies shots and spayed/neutered."
In addition to the discounted cost of a dog license, spaying or neutering your pet helps reduce companion animal overpopulation. Sterilization increases the chance your cat or dog will have a longer healthier life and have a lower risk of developing a number of expensive and deadly diseases. Finally, sterilization can make your dog or cat a better pet, reducing their urge to roam and decreasing the risk of contracting diseases or getting hurt.
Spay/Neuter vouchers are only good at participating local veterinary hospitals and clinics. In order to qualify for a voucher, pet owners must provide proof of address through photo ID or utility bill. Owners must pay the remaining balance of the spay or neuter procedure directly to the veterinary hospital. Animal Care Services will reimburse the veterinary hospital for up to $30 of the procedure. Availability and pricing will vary. Please call ahead for pricing and appointment information. A full listing of participating veterinarians can be found at www.longbeach.gov/acs under Spay & Neuter Programs.
