We know getting your pet spayed or neutered is expensive, so AWLA offers a low-cost spay/neuter voucher program for pet owners with an annual household income of $60,000 or less.

Vouchers must be purchased by the pet owners, are non-transferable, and are valid for 90 days from date of purchase. New vouchers become available each month. Surgery does not take place at AWLA. Services are provided at one of three partner clinics (listed at the link below).

For questions about purchasing a low-cost spay or neuter voucher, please call AWLA at (703) 931-9241 or email us at communitysupport@awla.org. Vouchers are also available to purchase in-person at the shelter.
