Florida: Prevent Animal Suffering, Support Spay/Neuter Funding!


Pet overpopulation causes needless animal pain and suffering. Homeless animals are forced to live in fear and scrounge for food and water, do not receive medical care, and almost always lead short, difficult lives. Part of the solution to this problem is to increase spay and neuter efforts statewide.

Now pending in the Florida General Assembly, Senate Bill 2372 and House Bill 1221 would increase financial assistance to county spay/neuter efforts without raising taxes. The bills propose a $10 increase to the $5 surcharge imposed on those who violate local animal control ordinances. This money will be dedicated to funding municipal spay/neuter efforts. Sign the petition supporting this critical legislation!
