FOGAS Spay/Neuter Program

FOGAS provides low-cost spay/neuter options at an affordable price.

  • This program is intended for people who are Gilmer County Residents and need partial financial assistance in order to have their own pets spayed or neutered. 

  • The goal of this program is to reduce the number of unwanted animals. By having your pet spayed or neutered, you are acting responsibly as part of the solution to the tragedy of pet overpopulation.

  • Each spay/neuter covers the cost of routine spay/neuter surgery, including preparation for surgery, anesthesia, the spay/neuter procedure, and rabies vaccine. Other vaccinations, testing for diseases, deworming, and all other medical procedures are not covered by the certificate and you are responsible for payment for these services.

  • We currently are in partnership with the Snippet Bus for this program. If your pet does not qualify within the range of the Snippet Bus criteria, other arrangements can be made through our partnerships with VCA and AMC.
