Spay/Neuter License Plate

Currently we are trying to get the word out about the Spay/Neuter License Plate. Below is the plate design we've been using since 2003. Right now there is a contest for new spay/neuter plate designs. We encourage everyone to go vote for the new design, and to keep in mind that a NEW spay/neuter plate design will generate MORE spay/neuter funds. These funds are distributed through a grant process, to shelters, humane groups, and rescues who run spay/neuter programs. As an individual, this is one of the most important things you can do to help animals in this state - it makes a statement and educates folks about spay/neuter AND it funds spay/neuter programs.
