Reducing pet overpopulation and shelter overcrowding, 1 pet at a time!

Program Overview

Parker Paws offers services and assistance to residents of Parker County either free or at low cost to help reduce the population of unwanted pets and to keep pets in their homes rather than have them surrendered to a shelter, rescue, or abandoned.

The growth of our Community Outreach efforts includes offering pet health information, resources, and education.

**Projects within our program may require proof of income for eligibility.

Spay Neuter Incentive Program

In 3 years, and as early as 4 months old, 1 unspayed female and 1 unneutered male, can produce 512 dogs and 382 cats.

The purpose of the spay and neuter incentive program (SNIP) is to implement an effective low-cost or no-cost spay/neuter program in Parker County in an effort to help reduce the overwhelming overpopulation problem with companion dogs and cats in the area.

Parker Paws offers low-cost/no-cost spays/neuters ranging from $0-$20, to the community and sponsors the remaining balance ranging from $80-$100 to our partnered vet clinics.

All applicants are required to have their pets up-to-date with a rabies certificate. Parker Paws does not pay for this vaccine or any additional services at this time.

Vet Partners

• Millsap Veterinary Clinic – has been a vet partner with Parker Paws for many years (approx. since 2012). They are an established vet practice here in town and perform a percentage of our SNIP sterilization surgeries.
• Weatherford Animal Clinic – A new vet clinic in town with vets we have a longstanding relationship with from another area clinic.  They will begin performing a percentage of our SNIP sterilization surgeries in December 2022.

Process

• We open a limited amount of SNIP applications every month. Our SNIP team qualifies each application and pet submitted.
• Applicants who are eligible, pay $0 for their pets’ sterilization. Parker Paws pays the full amount to the vet partner. This amount averages at $100 per pet.
• Applicants who fall outside the eligibility requirements will pay $20 for their pets’ sterilization or will be given resources for sterilization outside of our program.
