In the year 2021, LAPS funding has provided:

  • Qualified members of the community received over $15,000 in medical assistance to aid their companion animals.
  • Summit County residents received 390 vouchers to help them with the cost of spay/neuter procedures
  • Their County Animal Shelter has over 250 spay/neuter surgeries

You can also take a look at the pet grants from all the other states.
