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.
