Since 2018, Fall River Animal Control has hosted the clinic in collaboration with ARL and MAF. The surgical procedures are below the MAF voucher program, which distributes vouchers to qualifying low-income pet house owners to subsidize the cost of the essential process. More than 150 animals have acquired surgical procedures by these clinics for the reason that collaboration started 5 years in the past.

“Fall River is already a struggling community, but since the pandemic, it seems as if getting spay/neuter services has proven to be even more difficult,” mentioned Cynthia Berard-Cadima, Fall River Animal Control Officer. “People contact us daily, asking for funds. Many are out of work and our homeless community is growing. We are stretching every dime and our veterinarians are donating time and services more than ever.”
Clients will begin arriving with their animals round 8:30 a.m. and can be selecting up their animals within the afternoon following surgical procedure and restoration time.
Clinics like this that present sponsored spay and neuter companies are on the core of MAF, which is primarily funded by the voluntary tax verify off (Line 33f) on the Massachusetts resident earnings tax type. Since 2014, the MAF voucher program has helped present spay and neuter companies for greater than 17,500 animals.
