The Oakdale Shelter Pet Alliance (OSPA) will be on scene at Petco in Riverbank with several pets from the Oakdale Animal Shelter that will be available for adoption on Saturday, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Along with the chance to find and bring home a new forever friend, those already with pets can take steps to control the local animal population at this adoption event.

Oakdale Shelter Pet Alliance offers spay/neuter vouchers for cats and dogs to pet owners residing in the 95367 or 95361 zip code areas. Vouchers are valid for spay/neuter services at ACT Spay Neuter Clinic in Stockton. Free shuttle service for pets to the clinic is available from Oakdale and Riverbank. To obtain cat vouchers, bring proof of residency within the 95367 or 95361 zip code area. Cat voucher prices for those who qualify as low income (must provide EBT card, permanent Medi-Cal card, or PG&E Cares Program proof) are $20 in cash for each tame cat and for feral cats in traps, $10 each. Cat voucher prices for non-low income residents are $30 for tame cats and $20 for feral cats. For dog vouchers, you must bring proof of zip code residency, and proof of low income (EBT card, permanent Medi-Cal card, or PG&E Cares Program proof). Dog vouchers are $40 each, cash only. Vouchers for Chihuahuas, Chihuahua mixes, pit bulls, or pit bull mixes do not require low income qualification. Limit three vouchers per address.

You do not need to bring your pet with you to apply for a voucher. Some restrictions apply. Call 209 543-5434 for further information.
