How to reach them

Where: Fairfax County residents

Good to know

  • Who can use it: Income-eligible Fairfax County residents: people who qualify for social services such as WIC, Medicaid, TANF, SNAP, Social Security or Unemployment Benefits, or whose household income is below the county's posted income chart.
  • How to get started: Apply online with the voucher form or in person at a shelter location during open hours. Staff decide eligibility within 5-7 business days and email how to purchase the voucher; the owner then books surgery directly with the partner vet. Vouchers must be used within 60 days. A limited number are offered each month, the application closes when they sell out, and there is no waiting list.
