Each Pet impacted also receives preventative vaccines and microchips. This program not only prepares shelter pets for adoption but also provides crucial services to community-owned pets through clinics for $25 or less. Fix the future also includes a voucher program to offset the cost of spay/neuter in communities where bpf has partnerships with local veterinarians. More than 7,239 pets were "fixed" through this program in 2023.
