OPIN’s SNIP Program (Spay Neuter Incentive for Pets)

For cats and dogs:

Did you know that in a single dog's lifetime, he and his offspring are capable of producing 60,000 dogs? One unsprayed female cat and her offspring can produce thousands to over 2 million kittens in a lifetime, with estimates ranging widely from 100 to over 400,000 within seven years. Cats can have two to three litters per year, with sexual maturity reached at just four to five months. With millions of pets euthanized each year due to overpopulation, sterilizing your pet is the honorable, responsible choice.

OPIN wants to help all pet parents keep their loved ones safe and healthy. Realizing the high cost of veterinary spay/neuter services, our SNIP program was created to provide essential services for a low co-pay cost to qualifying low income pet parents. The co-pay OPIN asks for is especially low for pit bulls, pit mixes and cats. Other dog breeds may require a greater co-pay amount.

Qualifying pet parents are eligible to receive for the following services on a sliding-scale basis:

1.  spay/neuter surgery (includes pain medication)
2.  vaccines (rabies & distemper/parvo (dogs) and rabies & distemper/FVRCP (cats)
3.  a HomeAgain microchip (includes FREE lifetime enrollment in HomeAgain’s database)

Note: If the pet parent requests other vaccines or services (other than above), such as bordatella or lyme vaccines or items such as nail trim, heartworm or fecal tests, these are extra and paid for by you in addition to your basic co-pay.

If your pet is in need of spaying/neutering, vaccinating, and/or microchipping, please fill out our Application for Low Cost Services here.

We'll get back to you to discuss which level of assistance you qualify for. Sorry, this program is not available to rescue organizations, shelters or foster homes.
