Maddies Fund of Nevada

Maddie’s Spay-Neuter Project in Nevada is a new program designed to help lower-income Nevada residents spay and neuter their pets at very low cost. It is part of a broader movement to end the killing of healthy and treatable animals at our animal shelters. Maddie’s Spay-Neuter Project in Nevada is a true collaboration; private practice veterinarians provide the surgeries, our animal shelters track the results, many organizations help to publicize and promote the program, and Maddie’s Fund® provides the funding and vision.
