The Humane Society of Amherst County offers spay/neuter assistance to Amherst residents based upon an applicant's income and is made possible by grants and participating veterinarians. Most recently this program was made possible by the Greg Biffle Foundation and Amherst Veterinary Hospital, Diamond Hill Animal Hospital and Monelison Animal Clinic. To be eligible, the applicant should meet one of the following income levels:
Single Person (no children) $20,000 a year or less, gross income
Married Person (no children) $30,000 a year or less, combined gross income
Married Person (with children) $40,000 a year or under, combined gross income

Each animal must show proof of rabies vaccination or will be vaccinated at owner's expense.
Each applicant must:
1) Be a resident of Amherst County
2) Bring proof of income (pay stub or letter from employer)
3) Bring a copy of last year's income tax return
Please contact the Humane Society of Amherst County at 946-2340, Monday through Friday, between 9am and 4pm, or email us at HSofAC@gmail.com. If you are approved, the Humane Society will issue a certificate and assign a vet. The approved applicant should then make their own arrangements with the assigned vet for the spay/neuter surgery.
If you do not meet the above requirements, you may want to contact the South Central Spay/Neuter Clinic in Evington, VA at 434-821-4922.
