Spay/Neuter Assistance Program

INTERESTED IN OUR SPAY/NEUTER DONATION BASED VOUCHER PROGRAM?

For nearly 15 years, Greenbrier Humane Society has proudly administered a spay/neuter voucher program that has changed the lives of countless pets and families throughout our region. Thanks to the extraordinary support of a private foundation, almost $1.5 million has been invested in spay and neuter surgeries through our local veterinary clinics – preventing unwanted litters and reducing shelter intake. This program remains one of the most impactful services we provide & the need in our rural community is greater than ever.

In May 2025, we were notified that grant funding for this program would be cut in half. At that time, we began limiting the number of Donation Based Vouchers available to each clinic per month in hopes of preserving access for families in need. Unfortunately, that change alone was not enough. We had to pause the program briefly. Thankfully we were successful in responsibly stretching available dollars. Our Donation Based Voucher program is now up and running again, however, we still have to limit the amount gifted to those in need.

Why did we pause?

The temporary pause ensured that:
• Funds were not exhausted prematurely

• Families needing assistance later in the year could still receive support

• We honor the intent and stewardship expectations of our grant partner

What this means for pet owners:

• New voucher requests resume in April 2026
• Limited vouchers are allotted to each participating vet clinic; this means slots will fill quickly
During this time, we encourage families to reach out to their veterinarian about costs, discounted clinic days or payment options
• GHS will continue seeking additional funding sources to meet the growing demand
• All vouchers must be picked up before the spay/ neuter appointment date; reminder – we are closed to the public on Sunday & Monday. Please plan ahead if your appointment lands on a Monday or Tuesday!

Please note that each clinic is only allotted 10 Donation Based Vouchers per month. For funding reasons, we can only sustainably issue 2 vouchers per household per month. Vouchers are first come, first serve & we do not keep a waiting list.

Here’s how to receive a donation-based voucher:

1. Schedule your appointment:
Call one of the participating veterinary clinics and let them know you would like to make an appointment to have your cat or dog spayed/neutered using a donation-based voucher.

2. Get on the clinic’s voucher list:

Once you schedule your appointment, the clinic will add you to their Donation Based Voucher list.

Each clinic is allotted 10 vouchers per month, so appointments may fill quickly. Their list will be shared with us at the beginning of each month for pick up at the facility.

3. Pick up your voucher at Greenbrier Humane Society:
During the month of your appointment, you must come to Greenbrier Humane Society BEFORE your appointment date to pick up your voucher.

📌 Important:

• Vouchers will not be emailed or faxed; they must be picked up in person. Your donation is collected upon picking up your Donation Based Voucher.
• We are closed to the public on Sunday & Monday.

Thank you for believing in our mission and supporting this vital community service.

Voucher Program FAQ:

You must be a current resident of Greenbrier County, Monroe County, Pocahontas County, or Summers County to qualify for a spay/neuter donation based voucher.

Simply get an appointment date with a vet for your pet’s spay/neuter surgery. Then come see us at the facility before your scheduled appointment. If you would like to check with us to see what we currently have available, please call our facility at (304) 645-4775.

We do not require a maximum or minimum donation amount. The amount you choose to donate is completely up to you.
Please be sure to bring your donation with you when you come to the facility to pick up your voucher. We require donations to be made at the time the voucher is issued.

Donation Based Vouchers can only be issued when we have spay/neuter vouchers available with the veterinarians participating in our program. All of the veterinarians that participate in our spay/neuter clinics are allotted 10 vouchers per month. Due to this, there is a limited quantity of donation based vouchers that we can offer to the community. Once all clinics are filled for the month, we are unable to issue any additional assistance.

Yes, we require that your donation is collected at the time you receive your voucher.

Unfortunately, no we cannot mail vouchers. You must come in person. We require this because we must collect donations when issuing the voucher.

Absolutely! We understand life can get crazy and you may need a friend/family member to retrieve your voucher for you. We will need the owner and animals’ general information. Just send your donation and information with them!

Unfortunately, no.  All animals must be socialized family pets.  We could potentially lose our grant funding if we issue a voucher for a feral/wild animal.

Pregnant animals can be spayed as long as the owner and vet are comfortable with it. Please consult with the vet you make the appointment with to understand their requirements; every vet has different guidelines. Please also be sure to let us know that the animal is pregnant when the voucher is being made.

You must wait until she is finished nursing before having her spayed.  If she is spayed too soon, she may stop producing milk for her offspring.

All animals must be AT LEAST four (4) months old before they can be spayed/neutered.  Please wait until your pet is at least 4 months old before applying for a voucher.

We allow two (2) vouchers per household per month!
