ANNAPOLIS, MD (November 6, 2023) ~ The Maryland Department of Agriculture has announced the recipients of the Spay and Neuter Grants Program funding. The program, now in its 10th year, was launched with the purpose of reducing intake and euthanasia in Maryland shelters. As of December 31, 2022, annual data reported to the program indicates a decrease of 27% in dog and cat shelter intakes, and a decrease of 62% in shelter euthanasia rates.
Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks said "We are thrilled to see the impact that this program has made in its 10th year. We are seeing fewer pets coming into shelters and the drop in the euthanasia rate is both impressive and heartwarming."
The 32 grant recipients will receive a total of $902,958 in funding to provide 14,590 spay and neuter surgeries for pets of low-income families and free-roaming unowned cats. Recipients include government animal shelters and 501(c)3 nonprofit animal welfare organizations. Projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
