According to a recent report published by the American Veterinary Medical Association, Idaho has the highest percentage of dog owners in the U.S (58%) and we are in the top 10 states nationally for cat ownership (38%). The full article was published in the Idaho Statesman on Dec. 11, 2018.

The Pet-Friendly License Plate bill
The Pet-Friendly License Plate bill was signed into effect at 1:30 pm, March 15, 2019, at Governor Little’s office. Special thanks to Representatives Kloc, Kauffman, Moyle, and Wintrow, Lisa Kauffman and all the legislators who supported this bill.
GOAL: To enable Idaho veterinarians to provide dog and cat spay and neuters in low-income or rural areas. This will decrease pet overpopulation, providing financial relief to our municipal and private animal shelters and rescue groups and improve the quality of life for pets in low-income households.

PET LOVERS FUND:
Proceeds from the sale of the plate will be deposited into the Pet Lovers Fund, from which grants will be distributed by an independent steering committee, on an annual basis to fund spay/neuter services for dogs and cats to low-income residents. Any licensed Idaho veterinarian, municipal animal shelter, or private 501(c)3 animal shelter or rescue group can apply for a grant. Grant amounts will depend on how many plates are sold each year.
