Thank you for spaying/neutering your companion animal. Spaying and neutering presents many health benefits for pets.
The Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League (GVAWL) offers assistance to those for whom spaying a pet is a financial hardship. Through the generosity of our local veterinarians, private and municipal grants including the assistance of the Public Service Grant Program of the City of Gunnison, and our fundraising efforts, we have established a pool of funds available for this purpose. Please understand that this amount may vary year-to-year, and that certificates are only issued as funding will allow.
Due to funding sources and financial limitations, assistance is granted only to residents of Gunnison County. Upon approval of your application, the coupon you receive will be accepted by most Gunnison Valley veterinarians. Please be sure to verify with your vet that they will accept the certificate when you call to schedule the appointment.
You will be notified as promptly as possible as to whether GVAWL can provide you with assistance at this time. GVAWL will make final determination based on:
- funds available to GVAWL at the time of application and
- the information you provide to us on the application form
GVAWL reserves the right to deny assistance based on lack of available funding or an incomplete application.
