Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Spay Waggin’ coming to Fall River once again

The Animal Rescue League of Boston’s Spay Waggin’ will once again be in Fall River to spay/neuter cats and dogs as part of an ongoing collaborative effort with ARL, the Massachusetts Animal Fund, and Fall River Animal Control.

The voucher day will take place June 4th by appointment only.

This collaboration has a become vital resource for the Fall River pet community.

Since 2018, Fall River Animal Control has hosted the clinic in collaboration with ARL and MAF. The surgeries are under the MAF voucher program, which distributes vouchers to qualifying low-income pet owners to subsidize the cost of the important procedure. More than 150 animals have received surgeries through these clinics since the collaboration began five years ago.

Due to high demand, many clients have been on a waiting list for a number of months to have their pets spayed or neutered, and ARL is pleased to once again be providing this vital service that’s greatly needed in the Fall River Community.

To sign up, go to https://www.mass.gov/how-to/maf-voucher-days . You can call 617-626-1790 for help.

Clinics like this that provide subsidized spay and neuter services are at the core of MAF, which is primarily funded by the voluntary tax check off (Line 33f) on the Massachusetts resident income tax form. Since 2014, the MAF voucher program has helped provide spay and neuter services for more than 17,500 animals.
