Low Cost Spay/Neuter Program

PALS Program

Our PALS (Prevent Another Litter Subsidy) programis offered by the Central Alberta Humane Society to reduce our community’s homeless pet population by assisting people who do not have the financial ability to spay or neuter their animals. Citizens of Central Alberta with an approved low income can apply to have their dog(s) and/or cat(s) spayed/neutered through this program and pay only the administration fee.  

Why is spaying/neutering your pets important?

Each year, unplanned and unwanted litters create millions of homeless pets   Spaying and neutering is one of the steps we can take to get at the root of pet overpopulation, preventing unwanted litters and reducing the number of homeless pets. 

Did you know cats can give birth to three litters a year, with litters ranging in size from 6-12 kittens. Dogs can give birth to two or three litters a year, with litters ranging in size from 5-15 puppies depending on the size of the dog. Over five years, the impact of spaying or neutering just one cat or dog could prevent thousands of unplanned pets and prevent enormous suffering. 

Who can apply for PALS?

  • People in Central Alberta (Red Deer South to Olds; West to Rocky Mountain House & area; North to Wetaskiwin & area; East to Stettler & area) with proof of residence
  • Documentation of income in accordance with the Federal Household Low Yearly Income Level. Specifically, any government-issued paperwork stating yearly household income: AISH card, tax notice of assessment, or social assistance statement, government program, or from employer displaying the applicant’s full name on a branded letterhead/document.

What will your pet(s) receive?

  • Standard vaccinations including FVRCP (felines), DAPP (dogs), rabies and dewormer
  • Embedded microchip

Note: There will be an option to add the FeLV vaccine (cats) or the Bordetella vaccine (dogs) at time of procedure for a small additional fee.  Refer to application form for details..
