Does your organization qualify for a spay-neuter grant?
Ohio dog wardens, Ohio humane societies, Ohio 501c3 organizations and Ohio nonprofit veterinary associations can receive our grants. Applications are now digital. Check back in this space in July 2027 to apply for next year's digital grant application.
What pets qualify?
Cats and dogs adopted (or previously adopted) from animal shelters and 501c3 organizations are eligible, regardless of family income. Community cats and dogs are eligible if the owner's family has income under 150% of the federal poverty guidelines or if the cats and dogs belong to a veteran with a service-connected disability. Unowned cats in a managed neuter-release program administered by an animal shelter or 501c3 nonprofit organization are eligible. We are unable to grant funds directly to individuals or to arrange spay-neuter for individual pets not being served by a shelter or nonprofit.
