Arizona's Spay and Neuter of Animals Fund
ABOUT Arizona's Spay and Neuter of Animals Fund
Each year, funds raised through Arizona's Spay and Neuter of Animals Fund are distributed to over 60 spay and neuter projects, statewide. Through a grant process, led by The Arizona Companion Animal Spay and Neuter Committee, animal welfare organizations across Arizona have the opportunity to receive funding to provide spay and neuter support to thousands of animals across our state. Each county in Arizona is provided funding through grantees. These life-saving projects are led by various agencies, local to the region recieveing funding. Opportunities are available to non-profit animal welfare organizations and shelters (including those with community spay and neuter programs), and municipal and tribal animal welfare agencies.

Two ways - Pet Plates and AZ Income Tax Donations
Pet Friendly/Spay and Neuter Plate: This four-color specialty license plate is a must have for any animal lover in Arizona. It features original artwork generously donated by Scottsdale artist Ron Burns. Mr. Burns is well known for his support of animal welfare causes and his designation as an artist in residence for the Humane Society of the United States. The plate’s tagline “Pets Enrich Our Lives” identifies you as part of the driving force in the battle against pet homelessness in Arizona.
When you pay just $25 for this Pet Friendly plate, $17 (68%) from the sale of each license plate pays for no-cost or low-cost spay and neuter services for dogs and cats across Arizona. The remaining $8 is collected by ADOT for administrative purposes.
Your support of animals in Arizona continues each year you renew your plate.
You may choose to personalize your plate at the time of order for an additional fee of $25 per year. Personalized Pet Friendly plates are limited to a maximum of six characters including letters, numbers, and spaces.
