SPAY-NEUTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Spay-Neuter Assistance (SNAP) provides spay-neuter opportunities for income-eligible community members at discounted rates. The shelter is currently functioning at maximum capacity, indicating a glaring need for feral population reduction in the region. This program encourages pet-owners to apply for spay-neuter financial assistance to help reduce feral cat and dog populations in our area. Since the implementation of the service/program, the shelter has assisted 20-30 owners annually with spay-neuter costs only when limited funding is available. We hope to increase our program efforts and impact as we prepare to move into a new facility. This application must be returned to NEMO Humane Society! Our staff will make the appointment and send vouchers to the clinic on the day of the appointment. NO EXCEPTIONS! This service is only available to residents within Hannibal City limits. Proof of residency is required when application is submitted to the NEMO Humane Society.

Education & OUtreach

Education & Outreach is the cornerstone for animal welfare and shelter services. The new facility will have workshop space to provide more best practices learning opportunities for pet owners. Education & Outreach are a priority for the shelter, serving 3000 sq. miles and 5 counties. With the help of partnerships like with the NE Coalition for Roadway Safety & school reading programs, we have creating new pathways for outreach with a common goal: Save MO Paws & Save MO Lives.
