Fix.Adopt.Save. is grateful to Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust's ongoing support (since 2012) to help families in need and support FAS efforts to help alleviate pet overpopulation in Maricopa County.
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A REQUEST!
YES - this is lengthy - however, it is necessary to cover rules and address routine questions.
**Your request will NOT be fulfilled if you are found to be - selling pets (as a licensed or backyard breeder, individual, or for "adoption/re-homing"), buying from a breeder, a rescue/shelter, the pet is a foster, in transition of a home, etc.
If referred to our program by another organization/program - Your request will be considered/processed, just like any others, in the order received; the same guidelines/rules apply.
WHO WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE: FAS-funded services are not for or to be used by breeders, anyone selling animals (individuals, backyard breeders, etc.), animal shelters, rescue groups, for feral/free-roaming/ community/stray cats, pets in the transition of homes (being re-homed), pets going into a rescue, pets adopted, or in foster care.
If you are fostering:
Please contact the rescue organizations you are working with for their pet's veterinary care and s/n needs. Rescue organizations have access to "rescue rates" and discounts with many veterinary clinics across the state.
Adopted pets from a shelter/rescue
group do not qualify-
Please contact the shelter/rescue organization you adopted your pet from for these services; a service that is their responsibility as a legitamate and ethical shelter/rescue organization.
Please see Arizona Revised Statutes regarding a shelter/rescue group's responsibilities.

If you are seeking to surrender your pet and have been asked to fix your pet first-
Please contact a low-cost clinic for pricing or speak with the rescue group about your urgency to surrender your pet. Many rescue groups have partnerships with clinics across the Valley for discounts ("rescue rates") and may recoup the cost through adoption fees.
FIX.ADOPT.SAVE. DOES
NOT PARTNER WITH ANY SHELTER/RESCUE GROUPS TO SPAY/NEUTER THEIR PETS!
-
WE RECEIVE NO FUNDING FROM RESCUES OR SHELTERS.
-
OUR FUNDER'S SUPPORT IS TO HELP THE GENERAL COMMUNITY; PREVENTING PETS FROM ENTERING SHELTERS/RESCUE SYSTEM.
-
If you paid for an adoption and were told to contact us or given a voucher- that is misuse of our funds and program!
Why can't FAS pay for the spay/neuter of an adopted pet or one going into a shelter/rescue?
FAS' grant funding and outcomes are based on statistics and data, making a positive impact by decreasing the number of pets entering the shelter/rescue system. Our funds correlate to keeping pets out of the system, preventing accidental litters, and keeping pets in their homes. We work to help the general community (where the animals are coming from) to spay/neuter their pets when faced with financial hardship. By supporting adoption groups and people taking their pets to a shelter - we are actually showing that our efforts are NOT helping (actually doing the opposite) therefore, we would lose our funding.
As the largest provider of s/n assistance...we cannot/will not jeopardize our program. Losing our funding means thousands will not be assisted, and hundreds of thousands of pets will be born into an overburdened system. Rescue groups/shelters have the ability to fundraise using their 501c3 status, whereas the general population does not. We all must work together and do our part in the animal welfare system to create a better future for our animals and communities.
REQUEST/APPLICATION GUIDELINES
FAS-funded services, specials, and Voucher Program are for genuine pet owners in true need of financial assistance.
Funding provided to Fix.Adopt.Save. is intended to assist the general public with their pet's spay/neuter needs.
By assisting the general public (where the pets come from), we aim to - keep pets in their homes, avoid accidental litters and roaming pets seeking mates, and provide a healthier life for their pets. All outcomes that decrease the number of pets entering the shelter/rescue system, now and for the future.
We currently do not require "proof of income" as we acknowledge that many families and individuals make more than the federal poverty guidelines yet need assistance to spay/neuter their pets. We are delighted to help, however, we ask that you be honest and ethical in using our services and making requests. If you can afford low-cost - Fantastic! If you cannot and genuinely need FAS to help pay - please fill out the form below or participate in one of our specials or programs.
2 pets per household/caregiver
per a 12-month period through FAS funding.
-
If you have a litter, including the momma dog/cat, please advise the veterinary staff when making your appointment; the entire litter (with mom/dad) may be assisted. Special circumstances may qualify for additional assistance of more than 2 pets.
-
Why a 2 pet limit? FAS strives to assist as many pet owners as possible across the entire county. As the largest provider of subsidized spay/neuter services in Maricopa County, we must set limits in order to assist more people. Additionally, we also do not want to give the impression that FAS can/will always pay for a new pet to be s/n.
FAS Funded programs are for Maricopa County residents, only.
-
If your ID, presented at your appointment, is different than when you requested assistance (and is outside of Maricopa County) - you may be declined by the medical provider. We cannot reimburse the veterinarians for services outside of Maricopa County.
-
Why Maricopa County only? Our programs/services are GRANT funded from local sources and are restricted to Maricopa County residents. We do not receive funding for pets/residents outside of MC. If you are outside of Maricopa County - feel free to ask for resources; we may be able to put you in the right direction.

Los especiales financiados por FAS son para aquellos que realmente necesitan asistencia financiera.
Los fondos proporcionados a Fix.Adopt.Save. Tienen como objetivo ayudar al público en general con las necesidades de esterilización/castración de su mascota. Al ayudar al público en general, nuestro objetivo es: Mantener a las mascotas en sus hogares, evitar camadas accidentales y vagar de mascotas para encontrar parejas, y proporcionar una vida más saludable para sus mascotas. Todos los resultados que disminuyen el número de mascotas que entran en el refugio/sistema de rescate.
Actualmente no requerimos "prueba de ingresos", ya que reconocemos que muchas familias e individuos ganan más que las pautas federales de pobreza, pero necesitan ayuda para esterilizar / castrar a sus mascotas. Estamos encantados de ayudarle, sin embargo, le pedimos que sea honesto y ético en el uso de nuestros servicios y hacer solicitudes. Si te puedes permitir el bajo costo - ¡fantástico! Si usted no puede y realmente necesita FAS para ayudar a pagar - por favor llene el siguiente formulario o participe en uno de nuestros especiales o programas.

¿Por qué un límite de 2 mascotas? FAS se esfuerza por ayudar a tantos dueños de mascotas como sea posible en todo el condado. Como el mayor proveedor de servicios subsidiados de esterilización/ castración en el condado de Maricopa, debemos establecer límites para ayudar a más personas. Además, tampoco queremos dar la impresión de que FAS siempre puede/pagará para que se arregle una nueva mascota.
