SPAY IT FORWARD SPAY & NEUTER SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

Primary Goal

Increase the number of animals being altered prior to adoption at SVAS and increase the compliance rate on spay/neuter contracts when the animal is not altered prior to adoption.

 

Secondary Goal

Increase the overall spay/neuter rates in the Minot area and surrounding communities.

 

Funding Mechanisms

All funds raised for the program are restricted and will only be used for the program essentials.

Directed Donations: A new donation page has been added to our website.

Grant funding: Grants will be sought from local and national partners.

Adoption Contract:  Our contract has been updated.

For animals already altered at time of adoption

Adopters will be asked to “spay it forward” and donate to the program as part of the adoption process.

For animals not altered at time of adoption

  • Adopters will be required to make a monetary deposit in addition to signing the spay/neuter contract.
  • When adopter provides spay/neuter proof (within required time frame), they will have the option to receive a refund on their deposit or “spay it forward”.
  • If they “Spay it Forward”, the money goes straight into the ‘Spay it Forward” fund.
  • Any adopter that fails to comply with the terms of their spay/neuter contract will automatically forfeit their deposit to the “Spay it Forward” fund.

 

MAIN OBJECTIVE

PROVIDE SPAY AND NEUTER SERVICES FOR ANIMALS THAT PASS THROUGH OUR SHELTER. IF AND WHEN FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE, WE HAVE THE VISION TO EXPAND THIS PROGRAM TO INCLUDE OTHER UNALTERED ANIMALS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
