You can make a difference for the pet population by purchasing “I’m Pet Friendly” license plates. The license plates, which cost $25 per year for the emblem use and $15 (one time) for the plate fee, support spay and neuter initiatives in licensed animal shelters and non-profit agencies. Your donations will be awarded to select shelters and agencies across the state that meet grant requirements determined by a three member panel and administered by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Your donations are greatly appreciated and will make a difference in the health care of dogs and cats across Missouri. For more information about the “I’m Pet Friendly” license plates visit dor.mo.gov/motorv/plates/#preview.

Missouri Spay & Neuter Grant Program - Animal shelters, qualifying non-profits and government agencies with current or proposed spay/neuter programs are encouraged to apply for the Missouri Spay & Neuter grants.

During the latest funding cycle, the Missouri Department of Agriculture administered the distribution of over $20,000 to spay/neuter initiatives across Missouri. Grant applications will be accepted from January 1, 2024 through February 29, 2024.
