The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners, through American Rescue Plan Act funding, seeks to support local low-income households with spay and neuter services for their pet felines and canines. The high level of spay-neuter achieved over the past five decades is the single most important driver of reduced pet overpopulation and euthanasia in animal shelters. Veterinarians and animal welfare organizations should collaborate to prioritize recovery of spay-neuter capacity with a special focus on serving populations most at risk for unintended reproduction, poor welfare, or entering the animal shelter system.
County staff will work with applicants and participating veterinarians' offices to coordinate and submit payment for spay and neuter procedures. A drag-and-drop file upload box is provided within the program application for you to include a document that verifies enrollment in one of these programs. An application is not considered complete until one of these documents has been provided. Doing so is insufficient to demonstrate eligibility and could create a security risk for your account.
Please provide a benefits notification showing your enrollment is current. If you are applying for more than one pet in your household, you must fill out separate applications for each pet. Each pet is issued a unique reference number and separate vouchers. Below are the links to the application:. For assistance filling out this application, please call the helpline at Dog owners are encouraged to have their pets licensed, which is much less expensive when your pet is spayed or neutered.
License requirements are as follows: Dogs 6 months of age or older or with their adult canine teeth, whichever comes first must be licensed. Your dog must be currently vaccinated against rabies, and your rabies certificate is required to purchase a dog license. Dog licenses can be purchased for 1, 2, or 3 years. The dog license will only be valid for as long as the rabies vaccination is current.
Cat licensing is optional but still requires proof of a current rabies vaccination. The above applications are not for community cat services. Spaying and neutering are not only essential to the individual animal's health and safety, but prevent innumerable future animals from deprivation and worse, since there are never enough loving and responsible homes to go around.
