Spay Neuter Coupon Info

It's a SNAP to spay or neuter!

NEW SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM CHANGES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2006
Why has the program changed?

	Coupon demands have risen to where nearly half of our funding is going outside the Municipality of Anchorage
	The euthanasia rate is rising at Anchorage Animal Care & Control
	Pet owners who truly need financial assistance are our first priority

FOP's mission focus is the Anchorage area, and in particular, FOP was founded to help save the animals at Anchorage Animal Care & Control through rescue/adoption, education, and spay/neuter efforts. With limited funding, these program changes are necessary for us to make a strong positive impact to help local pets and their families in need.

Thank you for demonstrating responsible pet ownership by deciding to have your pet spayed or neutered!

The Friends of Pets Spay / Neuter Assistance Program seeks to reduce the number of homeless and unwanted pets, by helping pet owners in the Anchorage area who cannot otherwise afford spay/neuter services. The coupon provides $40 off the cost of a spay or neuter surgery at any veterinary clinic in Alaska , provided the owner and pet live in the Municipality of Anchorage . Some clinics bill FOP directly, while others require that you pay at the time of surgery. If you pay the clinic yourself, FOP will reimburse you.

(these directions are on the coupon too)

3. Contact your clinic to see whether they will bill Friends of Pets, or if you need to request reimbursement.
    a. If the clinic bills FOP, simply present your coupon to
        the clinic on the day of surgery.
    b. If you request reimbursement from FOP instead, send
        your coupon and a copy of your itemized bill (not a
        receipt, not a certificate of sterilization) to Friends of Pets,
        P.O. Box 240981, Anchorage, AK 99524. Your request
        must be postmarked on or before the expiration date of
        the coupon.
