L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa introduces Linda Starr - California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund

Attention California Pet Lovers - Help reduce pet overpopulation with the California Spay & Neuter License Plate! Spay & Neuter Saves Lives!

The California Spay & Neuter license plate, sponsored by the California Veterinary Medical Board, provides a fun and easy way for pet lovers to help reduce pet overpopulation. Proceeds from the plate provide funding for free or low-cost spay & neuter surgeries across California, and also help to raise awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering.

A sequentially numbered plate is just $50. A personalized plate, whether a new request or a transfer for an existing personalized plate, is $98. These fees are additional above your normal registration fee.

The California Spay & Neuter License plate artwork was created and donated by international actor, artist and animal lover Pierce Brosnan. It is a painting of two of the animals he and his wife Keely have adopted... Shilo the dog and Coco the cat.

Speakers included Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Judie Mancuso, President of the California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund, Los Angeles Councilmember Richard Alarcon, Linda Starr of the California Veterinary Medical Board and Pierce Brosnan. Food for the event was donated by Native Foods.

Hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats are euthanized in California's animal shelters each year simply because there are not enough homes.

The simplest and most responsible act that a pet owner can take to help alleviate this crisis is to spay or neuter their pets.

The program will be managed and administered by the California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Foundation's volunteer board members include Judie Mancuso, Dr. Gary Michelson, Keely Brosnan, Ellen Lavinthal, Lisa Avery, Esq. and two representatives from the California Veterinary Medical Board: Vice President Dr. Stephanie Ferguson and former Board President Linda Starr.
