MOHAVE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL SPAY & NEUTER FUND
Mohave County Animal Control has received an outstanding response from
residents in claiming vouchers toward getting their animal spayed or
neutered. Currently the $5,000 grant that was given to MCAC by Arizona
Companion Animal Spay/Neuter Committee has been tapped out by residents
of Mohave County.
There are some remaining funds in the Spay and Neuter account from
private donations. While funds exist, vouchers for $35 will be
available to Mohave County residents, one per household. The vouchers
are accepted by the majority of Kingman veterinarians.
Beginning March 1st, these vouchers will be available and residents
will have 45 days to redeem the voucher. Vouchers may be picked up at
the Mohave County Animal Control office located at 950 Buchanan Street
in Kingman, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday thru
Saturday.
This program exists solely on donations from the public. In the past,
volunteers from the Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control, local animal
welfare groups and citizens have conducted fund raising events to
generate donations to help keep the program available. From time to
time, Animal Control personnel have to stop issuing vouchers because the
funds literally run out.
Anyone wishing to make a private donation should contact Trish Carter
at (928) 753-0755. You may also support Spay and Neuter efforts across
Arizona by ordering your pet-friendly plate at www.azpetplates.org or
