You must submit a separate form for each pet

  • This service is for dogs and cats.

  • This service is available to qualifying residents of Truckee, Eastern El Dorado County, Eastern Nevada County, Eastern Placer County, Incline Village, Sierra County, and South Lake Tahoe from Glenbrook to Meyers.

  • Your application must be filled out in its entirety in order to be considered. Please immediately send requested documents to expedite wait times.

  • Applicants should verify household income with page 1 of the most recent household tax form 1040 (with Social Security # removed) or SSI/SSA form. (W-2’s, paystubs, 1099’s or other statements are not accepted as household income verification). We look at all incomes and salaries in a multi-wage home; if you’re married filing separately, we’ll request both forms.

  • In general, this is a one-time use service. Additional vouchers will be provided on a case by case basis. If you’ve determined that spay/neuter surgery is not in your budget, please adopt from our shelter, where all pets are already altered.

  • Patients who will be seen at the Truckee animal shelter must be current on required vaccinations; for dogs – Rabies, DAPP & Bordetella; for cats – Rabies, FVRCP.

  • Vaccinations for pet dogs and cats must be administered at least 10-14 days PRIOR to surgery. We do not offer them at the time of surgery – make an appointment for needed vaccinations ASAP to expedite your wait!

  • Please be honest.
