FREE Spay/Neuter Vouchers Available from Animal Control
 
COLUMBIA- Columbia/Boone County Animal Control officers are offering
the gift of responsible pet ownership this holiday season. Beginning
immediately, FREE spay/neuter vouchers are available to all Boone County
residents.
 
The vouchers, which can be used to spay or neuter both dogs and cats,
can be picked up anytime Monday – Friday from 8 am – 5 pm at the
Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services,
1005 West Worley in Columbia. No appointment is needed. Recipients must
present a photo ID and proof of Boone County residency (i.e. driver’s
license, utility bill, voter ID card, etc.) After a voucher is obtained,
the pet owner should call the Central Missouri Humane Society to
schedule the spay/neuter procedure. 
 
There are no income restrictions for the vouchers and more than one
voucher per household is allowed. Vouchers are available on a first
come, first served basis. They must be picked up before December 30,
2010, but the spay/neuter procedure does NOT need to be completed before
the end of 2010.
