These vouchers are valued up to the following:
$175 for female dogs;
$125 for male dogs: and
$75 for male cats.
In a press release, Mayor David Bosiak had the following to say about the new program.
“A key factor in responsible pet ownership is to spay and neuter dogs and cats, so we do not add to the problem our shelters are facing with limited space and overworked volunteers,” said City of Dauphin Mayor, David Bosiak. “We encourage residents to be a part of the solution by fixing their pets.”
To apply for SNAP, head to City Hall or online.
Proof of residency in Dauphin and a valid pet license are required for eligibility. Upon approval, the City will issue a voucher that can be used at either the Dauphin Vet Clinic or Uptown Pet Clinic. Pet owners are responsible for paying the remaining fees at the time of their appointment.
