The SNIP program is funded to provide assistance to qualifying individuals in Gander and surrounding areas, with the cost of spaying or neutering of animals in their care. There is an application you must fill out to ensure you meet our criteria, and you must be willing to pay a portion of the spay/neuter yourself, which is to be paid upfront. 

To qualify for assistance you must meet one of the following criteria:

• Have a combined family net income of $25,000 or less
• Be a single parent with a net income of $25,000 or less
• Be single (living on your own with no other means of support) and have a net income of $15,000 or less
• Be 65 years of age or older and receiving the Guaranteed Income Supplement
• If you fall outside of the criteria, you may be considered by “special circumstances”, providing you prove with documentation, your need for assistance.

You must provide proof of meeting the criteria, with the following:

•  A copy of the last Notice of Assessment, Income Tax Return, of all adults living in the household.
