Grand Valley veterinary practices have joined with Mesa County Animal Services to offer spay or neuter procedures at a reduced price.

The Animal Assistance Foundation has provided funding for sterilization procedures to assist pet owners with financial needs. Participating veterinarians have agreed to offer procedures at a reduced rate, resulting in a fee of $25 to pet owners.

Participating veterinarians have been issued a limited number of vouchers for the program. Vouchers are offered at the discretion of the veterinarians and are valid through Sept. 30.

Pet owners are required to provide proof of rabies vaccinations to use the vouchers. Pet owners also could be asked to support they have financial needs or communicate why they face unique circumstances.
