There are no income restrictions and the vouchers are available to anyone in Montgomery County.  The vouchers will be honored at St. Bethlehem Animal Clinic and will be valid for two weeks after purchase.

Over 70,000 cats and dogs are born in the United States everyday.  Sadly, an overwhelming majority of these animals will end up in shelters, and if not adopted, will be euthanized.
