The Animal Coalition of Tahoe is committed to helping reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats in our area, and sponsors fundraisers throughout the year to help further this cause. ACT uses the majority of these funds to assist with the cost of pet spay and neuter procedures for residents of the south Tahoe community. In our first five years of operation, ACT assisted over 1000 owners of dogs and cats with these costs.

Eligibility
To qualify, you must be a full-time resident of the south Tahoe area (from Glenbrook to Meyers, including Kingsbury Grade).
Here’s how it works
You take your pet to any veterinarian for a spay or neuter procedure, and pay for all costs.
You send us proof of payment for the procedure, plus proof of local residency.
We subtract $25 from the total cost of the procedure, including exam, surgery, anesthesia and stitch removal if necessary.
We then reimburse you 50% of the balance of the cost, up to a maximum of $75.00.
The veterinarian may require that your pet have current vaccinations to ensure your pet’s health before performing the procedure: these fees will be your responsibility.
There are usually additional fees for dogs over 75 lbs, pets over 8 years old, cats/dogs in heat or pregnant, and additional anesthesia or blood tests. Our reimbursement will be based on the cost of the basic spay-neuter procedure.
You can go to any veterinarian, but you must be a resident of the south Tahoe area.
Maximum two pets per household in a 12-month period are eligible for this program. The procedure must have taken place within two months of the postmark on this application.
