To help reduce pet homelessness, donors can contribute to spay and neuter efforts in Arizona. You can do this by designating funds on line 74 of the Arizona Tax Form 140-Resident Personal Income Tax Return Page 2 under “#64Voluntary Gifts – Spay and Neuter of Animals”.

With your help, more animals in Arizona can be spayed or neutered. More spay/neuter means fewer animals ending up homeless and unwanted. Order a Pet-Friendly License Plate.
