The Humane Society of Skagit Valley (“HSSV”) has received a grant of $3000 from The Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies (“The Federation”). This funding will facilitate additional spay/neuter surgeries for shelter animals, pets of low-income community members, and feral or free-roaming cats at HSSV’s onsite Spay and Neuter Clinic.
HSSV is pleased to partner with The Federation to provide these vital spay/neuter surgeries and improve the quality of life for animals and their guardians in Skagit County.
The funds for this grant award are made possible by the sale of Washington State SPAY ~ NEUTER ~ ADOPT license plates. In an effort to be proactive regarding the pet overpopulation problem, revenue from the sale of these license plates has been earmarked through an agreement with the State of Washington for spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in Washington State.
Since 2007, The Federation has awarded over $615,000 in license plate grant funds to qualifying animal welfare organizations throughout Washington State. These funds have enabled the completion of nearly 20,500 spay/neuter surgeries for pets of low-income households and feral or free-roaming cats.
