California Spay & Neuter License Plate will Help Reduce Pet Overpopulation

Attention California Pet Lovers -- Help reduce pet overpopulation with the CA 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 include 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.

I don't know what you're trying to say below--between your poor English and your bad spelling, it's ridiculous. First of all, spay and neutering will 'control' the population, domestic dogs and cats will never go EXTINCT! Fixing pets will reduce the number of animals being euthanized because there will be less homeless pets due to the fact that spaying and neutering has controlled that--get it! I agree with you that rental properties should be more lenient to tenants with pets.

they wont be happy until they fix all the pets and then they die out. if everyone fixes there pets then they will go exstinked, this law was done by peta to get rid of the pets, they were pushing for it, and besides fixing pets does nothing for the rate animals are being killed, nothing is going to change but they get more money. Its stupid housing people no pets allowed, and people with the right homes hate animals or just have one while others need homes then there pet dies and want no moreETC

This is a brilliant, wonderful plan. We need more of this kind of action on behalf of the tremendous need for spay/neuter in our community -- not to mention that this is a fun bit of bling for every vehicle! Love it!!!

Thank you for getting the word out about this valuable program.

The state of CA spends 240 million tax dollars EVERY year euthanising abandoned shelter animals. It is about time that the state started spending some of that money to prevent unwanted births.

What about we can only stop killing animals in this country if we stop breeding more of them do people not get?

Thank YOU, CA, for taking progressive action!
