Grants for Spaying & Neutering Dogs in North Carolina

Organizations providing low-cost North Carolina spay/neuter services need grant money to help educate dog owners about the importance of controlling the pet population and to cover supply costs for treating the dogs. Grants are available for nonprofit groups that perform the spaying and neutering of dogs in the state, as long as they meet grant qualifications and the application deadline.

  1. George D. Patterson Family Fund

    • This fund provides grant money each year to several nonprofit animal organizations in North and South Carolina that provide low-cost spay/neuter services. The fund was set up by the family in honor of George and his daughter Sally because of their love and interest in the well-being of animals. The Foundation for the Carolinas administers this grant by reviewing applications from organizations in the two states.

    North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Account

    • Funds are available from North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Service for spay/neuter services provided by city and county animal control shelters or those under contract with a city or county. This fund is primarily intended for rabies vaccination, but 20 cents of each rabies tag sold goes to the state's Spay Neuter Program. Of that money, 20 percent can be used for spay/neuter education while up to another 20 percent is available to reimburse costs for services provided in altering pets in North Carolina. The money is reimbursed only to shelters that turn in applications at the end of each quarter of the year--January, April, July and October.
