Who qualifies?

This program is being offered to residents of San Clemente, Dana Point and Capistrano Beach whose household gross income is below $40,000 (for a single person) or $75,000 (for a couple/family). In order to qualify, applicants will need to submit W2 forms (or equivalent tax documents) for adults in the household, along with a copy of a state or federal-issued I.D./driver’s license. We will also accept proof of current enrollment in the Food Stamps, CalWorks, WIC programs or Social Security in place of tax documentation. In addition, a copy of a utility bill issued within the past 45 days will be required to verify proof of residency. The name(s) on all 3 of these documents must match.
All Active Duty Military Personnel residing in San Clemente, Dana Point or Capistrano Beach will automatically qualify. Proof of residency and Active Duty service must be submitted.

The doctors and technicians at Estrella Veterinary Hospital will be donating their time to the program, which offsets some of the cost of surgery.
In doing so, we are able to offer the surgeries (including post-op pain meds) at the following low costs:
Cat neuter (males): $35
Cat spay (females) or dog spay/neuter under 20 pounds: $40
Dog spay 20-40 pounds or dog neuter 20-80 pounds: $55
Dog spay 40 pounds and over or dog neuter 80 pounds and over: $70
The Pet Project Foundation will be sponsoring the cost to microchip all animals with a permanent AVID I.D. microchip. The microchip and registration will be at no extra cost to the animal owner. This is a potentially life-saving identification chip that will assist in reuniting lost pets with their owners.
Please contact the San Clemente-Dana Point Animal Shelter/C.A.S.A. at 949-492-1617 for further questions.
Program requirements and costs are subject to change. This offer cannot be combined with any additional offers, and does not qualify for additional spay/neuter reimbursement through Pet Project Foundation.
