SNIP is a program for cats and dogs of low-income residents in Sacramento County within our service areas. Qualified residents are given vouchers for surgery to use at participating veterinarians or with shelter veterinarians. There is a limit of 2 SNIP vouchers per household. View SNIP Flyer.

To register, bring proof of low-income status, such as an EBT card or personal income tax return, and your pet to the shelter. *Your pet will be vaccinated and micro-chipped and you will receive a voucher for the spay/neuter surgery. Proof of low income such as EBT card, WIC, or even income tax statements is required, along with a $20 co-pay.  Pay-stubs are not valid proof of income.

*Please note that we do not handle SNIPS on weekends because it so busy. Thursdays tend to be the least busy.

The SNIP Package Includes:

• vaccinations 
• micro-chipping
• animal license
• voucher to be used for surgery with one of the participating veterinarians.
