SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY ASSISTANCE
Friends of the Shelter offers a spay/neuter assistance program for low income county residents. SNAP (spay/neuter assistance program) is for low income pet owners who need some help in getting spay/neuter surgery for their pets. Applications for the program are taken by FOS volunteers at the Bell County Animal Shelter on the first working day of each month at 9:00 am. Pet owners must show proof of Bell County, KY residency and must have an income of under $25,000.00 per year. Only 30 applications are taken each month, on a first come first serve basis. 4 area vets have agreed to offer the surgeries for FOS at a discounted price: Bell County Animal Clinic, Harrogate Hospital for Animals, Russell Veterinary Services, and Harlan Animal Hospital. 350 dogs and cats were spayed/neutered through this program in 2025. Together we can reduce the number of unwanted pet pregnancies.
