Why does ASPCI not offer SNAP Certificates to owners whose pets were adopted from a rescue group or from a municipal shelter facility?
Organizations that don’t include the cost of the spay/neuter surgery in its adoption fee and puts an extra financial burden on the adopter is not acting in a responsible manner and ASPCI will not function as an enabler of such an organization. ASPCI believes that the main priority of animal welfare agencies should be to address the problem of pet overpopulation and this includes spaying or neutering all animals it places in new homes prior to them leaving the rescue or shelter.
