PAL - Prevent a Litter

Our Mission Statement:

Promoting responsible dog guardianship through spay/neuter assistance and training rewards in the Salem/Keizer, Oregon area.

How it started....

PAL was the dream of a passionate animal advocate, rescuer and volunteer. Seeing first hand the negative affects of pet overpopulation, Debbie wanted to be part of the solution. It was on that belief that PAL was started and so our mission began to provide spay/neuter assistance and training rewards in an effort to help reduce pet overpopulation, the number of homeless and euthanized dogs and promote responsible pet guardianship in our community.

About us:

Located in Salem, Oregon PAL is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that raises money to help spay and neuter dogs in our community. PAL was founded to help all breeds of dogs and all individuals in our community, with no income restrictions. In addition to providing spay and neuter assistance, PAL also promotes responsible pet guardianship by offering training rewards.

SPAY AND NEUTER ASSISTANCE

Due to the recent increase in the number of individuals NOT following procedure, we must reiterate our policies:
DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM US. WE WILL E-MAIL YOU WITH DIRECTIONS AND A CONFIRMATION, AFTER RECEIVING YOUR CO-PAY. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CO-PAY'S THROUGH PAYPAL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL DONATION, YOU ARE WELCOME TO DO THAT THROUGH PAYPAL.

Thanks to a partnership with Willamette Valley Animal Hospital (Keizer, Oregon), PAL is able to offer low cost spay and neuter assistance for dogs within our community (with a low co-pay of $25; $50 for dogs over 100lbs). We do not have an income or breed requirement. Dogs as young as 10 weeks may be spayed or neutered. You MUST get pre-approval from us. PAL will not cover expenses that are not approved prior to the services being performed or services that are in addition to spaying/neutering. Please contact us for more information about scheduling a spay/neuter appointment*.

Starting January 1st, 2016 in order to use PAL spay/neuter services, we will require that your dog be licensed in the county in which you live. Proof must be provided prior to services, OR can be purchased at time of service from WVAH for Marion County residences (cost is $17/yr for a spayed or neutered dog). Dogs under 6 months of age are eligible for a free puppy license in Marion County.

*We are NOT a veterinary office, nor do we assist with medical services other than spay or neuter.
