#2 Reduced cost spay/neuters:

for county residents who obtained their pet from a source other than the county animal shelter

Even if you have not adopted your pet from the MCHS, but you are a Montgomery County resident, there are many veterinarians in Montgomery County that will provide you with a reduced-cost spay or neuter. Fees are based upon your family's income, per Categories 1, 2 and 3 on the spay/neuter application form.

Costs for reduced-cost spaying/neutering are listed on the coupon and vary by income level.

Conditional costs

If the pet is in heat ...  additional $15

If the pet is pregnant ...  additional $25

If the pet is obese ...  additional $25

To apply, please print the spay/neuter application from the PDF file. Mail the completed form, proof of income as required, payment, and a self-addressed, stamped business sized envelope to:

Montgomery County Humane Society

Please note that the same additional and/or conditional costs listed above might apply.

#3 Low-Income assistance:

County residents who meet federal HHS poverty guidelines, with a pet from a source other than the Montgomery County Animal Shelter, may apply for a subsidy spay/neuter coupon.

Please contact our office 240.773.5960 for a Subsidy Application. You will need to furnish a copy of your most recent IRS Form 1040 and the Card ID# of your Public Assistance, Medical Assistance or Food Stamps card.

This program is available through the participating veterinarians who donate to this program. Residents who meet qualifications will be accepted. Those who do not qualify may apply for the MCHS Reduced-Cost Program (see option #2 above). The pets of residents qualifying for this program may receive from the veterinarian in addition to the surgery, hospitalization, anesthesia and anesthetic monitoring, a pre-surgical examination, blood work, pain management if needed and vaccinations at a flat fee of $50.00 for cats and $65.00 for dogs.
