A-PAL Spay / Neuter Programs

Founded in 1978, A-PAL Humane Society has worked with Amador County Animal Control, Calaveras County Animal Services, the Tracy animal shelter and countless volunteers to reduce shelter intakes and increase shelter save rates by advocating for spay/neuter of shelter animals. In 1988, the Amador County shelter took in approximately 2,400 animals annually with a save rate of just 15 percent. In 2021, our local shelter had an intake of 961 animals with a save rate of 88 percent. In 2021, A-PAL Humane Society was able to adopt out 300+ cats and kittens, with age-appropriate vaccines and spay/neuter surgery. Over the years, A-PAL has developed several programs to help our feral cat colonies and Amador
county resident’s pets. These programs have helped lower shelter intake numbers and reduce the number of feral cats and otherwise homeless animals in our county. In 2021, 835 Amador County felines and canines were spayed or
neutered through A-PAL programs.

SPAY/NEUTER CERTIFICATE
Our certificate program allows Amador County residents who need financial assistance to spay or neuter their cat or dog at a local veterinarian for a reduced price.  Certificates in hard copy may be obtained at Amador County Animal Control or the Feed Barn.  You can also download and print the forms and give them to the participating veterinarian of your choice at the time of surgery.
