The cost of the tag is the standard $50 like other specialized tags, with $41.25 of each sale going to the Foundation to assist low-income families with the cost of spaying and neutering their pets. One thousand tags must be pre-sold by November 1, 2008 in order for the program to be implemented. As of September 10, only 657 tags have been sold!
The Alabama Veterinary Medical Association and Pets Are Worth Saving encourage all of you to consider purchasing one of these special plates in support of the ongoing spay/neuter efforts. Alabama residents, currently on Medicaid, will be able to have their pet spayed or neutered with funds collected from the sale of these license plates.
How to order your tag:
- Visit your local county license plate issuing official’s office
- Complete a “Commitment to Purchase” application
- Pay the additional $50 fee.
You will continue to use your current license plate until the Spay-Neuter plate is produced (after 1000 have been pre-sold). The Foundation will notify you after the plates are produced and are available in the county license plate offices.
How to claim your tag:
- Go to the license office where the original application was completed
- Present the original “Commitment to Purchase” and the receipt for $50, along with your current standard license plate. Please note: you must have these two original documents to receive the plate.
Please don’t let this opportunity to really make a difference by helping to alleviate the growing problem of pet overpopulation!
