Purpose
This funding opportunity invites grant Applications requesting funding from the Zoonosis Control Branch. The purpose of this program is to provide Sterilization services for cats and dogs owned by the general public at minimal or no cost.
Program Background
Due in part to pet overpopulation in Texas, it is estimated that over half a million animals are euthanized annually at a cost of over $20 million. These figures do not include animals that are abandoned and die from starvation, disease, or trauma. Stray animals can represent public health threats through a variety of diseases such as rabies, toxoplasmosis, plague, and parasitic infections. Failure to sterilize pets is a major cause of pet overpopulation. The cost of Sterilization could be considered cost prohibitive to many pet owners.
The 75th Texas Legislature designated funds under Texas Health and Safety Code Section Chapter 828, Section 828.014 to be used to make grants to eligible organizations that sterilize animals owned by the general public at minimal or no cost.
