Please review these FAQ's before completing the application.
What is spay/neuter? Spaying or neutering is a safe, permanent surgery to alter the reproductive capabilities of a pet. "Spaying refers to female pets and is a major surgical procedure in which both ovaries and the uterus are removed from your pet. Neutering, also called castration, refers to male pets, and is a minor surgical procedure in which both of the testicles are removed. Other terms used to refer to pets that have been spayed and neutered include de-sexed, fixed, altered, sterilized or un-sexed" (Margaret B. Mitchell Spay/Neuter Clinic, 2019).
Why is spay/neuter important? We believe there are many benefits to spay/neuter for animals and the communities in which they live. Please click this link to learn more.
What is the Jurnee's Journey Foundation Voucher Program/Application? This program provides a sponsorship for a sterilization surgery for dogs or cats. It is open to any pet family that has a surgery appointment scheduled with Margaret B. Mitchell Spay/Neuter Clinic (MBM). Applications must be completed within three (3) business days prior to the dog or cat's scheduled surgery date.
Why are there only a certain number of surgeries allotted per month? We work hard every day to provide funds for surgeries. In order to best serve our community, we limit the number of vouchers granted monthly. Thank you for joining our journey to help animals!
How often can I apply for a voucher? Only one (1) application will be accepted per household per month, as available. If your household has two (2) or more pets that will be receiving surgery at the same date and time, please contact us at jurneesjourney@gmail.com at least three (3) days prior to the scheduled surgery date and time.

In every community in every U.S. state, there are animals sitting in animal shelters waiting for homes. Only about half of those dogs and cats will ever get one. The other half will be euthanized. Please spay or neuter. IT SAVES LIVES!
