Building a Sustainable Spay/Neuter Assistance Program: Funding, Veterinary Partnerships, and Community Impact
As shelters across the country struggle with capacity challenges, increasing intake, and limited resources, prevention has never been more important. Join Pet Friendly Services of Indiana as we share nearly 50 years of experience building and managing a statewide spay/neuter assistance program.
This webinar will explore how community-based spay/neuter programs can reduce shelter intake, stretch limited resources, and provide affordable services to pet owners. Attendees will gain insight into finding sustainable funding sources, recruiting veterinary partners, and efficiently administering financial assistance programs. We will also discuss innovative partnerships, including mobile clinic collaborations, sliding-scale assistance models, and the role of automation in managing large-scale programs.
Whether you are launching a new program or strengthening an existing one, this session will provide practical strategies and real-world examples that can be adapted to communities of all sizes.
