SECTION 24. DOG AND CAT SPAY AND NEUTER "REBATE" PROGRAM
- To encourage sterilization, the BOCC shall, by resolution, establish rebates from fees generated
pursuant to this Ordinance for those persons who have their dogs or cats sterilized.
- To be eligible for a rebate:
- the owner must reside in the county at the time application for the rebate is submitted
to the department;
- have purchased one or more tags for the animal at the intact rate;
- have a current
registration certificate and tag for the sterilized animal; and
- submit the county
spay and neuter certificate signed by a veterinarian, to the department within 90 days
of the sterilization. Failure to submit the required documentation within the specified
time will result in a waiver of any claim to the rebate. No rebate shall be paid for
animals sterilized by the department.
- Funds for this program shall be appropriated
from the tag fee differential amounts collected for intact animals as compared to sterilized
animals, along with any other funds appropriated by the BOCC. A percentage of the fee differential
amount as indicated by resolution shall be appropriated to the spay and neuter fund and public
education efforts related to animal sterilization.
- This program will, for the specified
time period, cease upon the complete depletion of the appropriated funds. The director shall
provide prompt written notice to all participating veterinarians in the event the funds for
a particular time frame have been or are about to be exhausted. Any sterilization performed
prior to the veterinarian receiving such notice will receive first consideration when additional
funds are appropriated. Any other dog or cat sterilized during the affected time period is
ineligible as a basis for a rebate.
