More Good News for Tennessee Animal Friendly Tags

For anyone that has the Tennessee Animal Friendly License plates, this comes as exceptionally good news. From a news release from the ASPCA today:

GOT YOUR ANIMAL-FRIENDLY LICENSE PLATE YET, TENNESSEE RESIDENTS?

Tennessee’s animal-friendly license plate program just got a little friendlier, now that PetSmart Charities has partnered with the state’s Department of Agriculture and the Companion Animal Initiative in Tennessee to expand low-cost spay/neuter services. PetSmart will match up to $100,000 of funds generated above total plate sales for the prior fiscal year.

“The grant from PetSmart Charities is an opportunity to better serve more communities throughout the state,” says Dr. Ron Wilson, Tennessee State Veterinarian. “I encourage people who are interested in responsible pet ownership to buy the animal-friendly license plates. This grant will essentially double the money that goes into the spay/neuter program for each plate sold.”

The specialty plate costs $35 in addition to county fees. If you haven’t gotten yours yet, Big Bend State animal lovers, please visit Tennessee.gov for more information or contact your local county clerk’s office to purchase a plate. ...

A couple years ago, my humane association was awarded a special spay/neuter grant with the proceeds from these tags. So, I can assure you that they money goes into a very good cause. With this grant, our humane association was able to spay/neuter dogs and cats for many that had no funds to do so. We helped these families and over 200 animals. I can't help but think of all the future unwanted pets that we prevented as well.
