Adopt A Shelter Pet license plate! was created by Wily Fox aka Angela
AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER – AN IMPORTANT NEW WAY TO HELP COLORADO ANIMALS!
On June 9, 2010, Governor Bill Ritter signed into law House Bill 1214, sponsored by Senator Gail Schwartz and Representative Beth McCann. The Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate created by this legislation establishes a new funding source to help Colorado shelters and rescues offset costs for spaying and neutering and medical treatment of animals in their care. The purpose of the license plate is to serve areas that are currently under funded, under staffed and overwhelmed. The legislation also extends the tax check-off for the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund until 2020.
“Coloradans have generously given to the Pet Overpopulation Tax Check- off to support shelters throughout the state,” Sen. Schwartz said. “To additionally fund these important efforts, we now have an Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate. Pets enrich our lives and our families, but every day in Colorado thousands of animals are in shelters, waiting for a family to take them home. This new license plate will raise awareness of the availability of homeless pets and fund the effort to place these pets in loving homes and reduce animal overpopulation.”
$30 from the sale of each Adopt a Shelter Pet license plate will provide grants to support those Colorado shelters and rescues, primarily in underserved areas, that may not have access to much needed funding for mandated spay/neuter programs and other medical expenses. It will also help them to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter and rescue pets.
Determination of need will consist of an application process reviewed by the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Authority Board. Those organizations who have limited access to funding and who demonstrate the greatest need for assistance and education programs will receive the greatest priority and attention. The grant application will soon be posted on [url=http://www.coloradopetfund.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.coloradopetfund.org[/url].
