Stop Pet Overpopulation Today (SPOT)

Important Changes to SPOT Voucher Program as Saturday October 21, 2023. Reopening as WAG subsidy Program Jan 1, 2024

SPOT’s spay/neuter voucher assistance program for Lane County’s low-income dog owners with the Willamette Animal Guild Spay Neuter Clinic will go on “pause” as Saturday, October 21 until January 1, 2024, while a new streamlined version of the program is being implemented and WAG is able to handle a very large backlog of appointments.   No new SPOT vouchers will be issued after October 20, 2023.

All SPOT clients who have received a current voucher and have already set an appointment with WAG are confirmed.  If you cancel or miss your appointment, you will not be able to reschedule this year.

New subsidy system and copays

As of January 1, 2024, all spay/neuter subsidy assistance for dogs previously issued as SPOT vouchers will be issued exclusively as WAG subsidies using WAG’s online scheduling application at wagwag.org. Clients will no longer need to fill out applications with both organizations. All clients will be required to provide proof of low-income status on WAG’s application to qualify for a subsidy.

As of January 1, WAG will issue a standard $75 subsidy toward the cost of your pet’s procedure.  WAG may also cover certain specific fees for procedures related to the spay/neuter that are deemed necessary by the veterinarian at the time of surgery.

Wellness services offered by WAG that are unrelated to the spay/neuter procedure cannot be covered by a SPOT grant.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this temporary pause may cause; however, we believe it will be a positive new program for all concerned.
