New funding encourages residents to spay/neuter their dogs with affordable $50 surgeries
DAVIESS COUNTY, Ind. — Pet Friendly Services of Indiana has received grant funding from the Daviess County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation, Inc., to expand access to affordable spay/neuter services for dogs in Daviess County.
Through the grant, Pet Friendly Services will provide 100 additional spay/neuter surgeries for dogs through its Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP). Eligible Daviess County residents will pay a $50 copay for their dog’s surgery, with grant funding covering the remaining cost.
SNAP provides financial assistance to income-qualified pet owners who need help affording spay/neuter surgery for their pets. The program helps prevent unwanted litters and reduces the number of animals entering already crowded shelters and rescues.
“Cost can be a significant barrier for families who want to have their pets spayed or neutered,” said Cheri Storms, Executive Director of Pet Friendly Services. “Daviess County is fortunate to have community-minded veterinarians that are willing to help residents with this important service.”
Daviess County residents who receive SNAP assistance can use their vouchers at participating veterinary providers in the area, including:
- Cumback Veterinary Services
- Eastside Veterinary Clinic
- Hometown Veterinary
- Washington Veterinary Hospital

Pet Friendly Services gratefully acknowledges the Daviess County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation, Inc., for its support of this project and its investment in accessible spay/neuter services for Daviess County.
