Vouchers are typically mailed out within 5 to 7 days of the receipt of application and payment. Applications that are mailed in can take up to 2 weeks or longer to process and get vouchers mailed out.
NO APPLICATIONS ARE PROCESSED WITHOUT PAYMENT.
If your application is denied you will be issued a refund for the voucher cost minus credit card processing fees.
Vouchers typically expire after 4 months (depending on the age of the pet). An additional 2-month grace period is applied after 4 months where an expired voucher can be re-issued for $10. Lost vouchers will also incur the $10 re-issue fee.
No Show Policy
- Rescheduling Appointments: If you make an appointment with a veterinarian, keep it. 48 hours advance notice required to reschedule or cancel appointments
- Missed Vet Appointments: No shows result in a voided voucher. A fee of $55 for cats and $75 for dogs is required to reinstate a voided voucher. Repeat offenders will no longer qualify for the Humane Solution program.
- Attempting to Use a Voided Voucher: YOU will be responsible for paying the veterinarian’s full standard pricing at the time of the surgery.
- Switching hospitals: You must let us know if you change hospitals.

If you can afford to pay more than the voucher cost, we can Spay it Forward to help other needy applicants. Any overage amount would be helpful. You can Spay it Forward using our regular donation button.
