Donations to Animal's Best Friend are tax-deductible and can be sent to us at PO Box 443, Oshtemo, MI 49077. We were organized in 1998 to raise funds for the support of animal rescue and care, limited to St. Joseph County. We do not operate a rescue unit, but support those who do. We are a registered tax-exempt charity. This program is only for those people who have a financial need or who would not otherwise have their pet sterilized.
Certificates are limited to no more than two per family per year.
The funds for this program are not government funds, but are donations received by the Humane Society from the general public. The veterinarian's office discounts the coupon amount from the bill and later bills the KHS for that amount. Pets adopted from the Kalamazoo County Animal Control do not qualify for financial assistance. Certificates can be issued only after an appointment for surgery has been made with a Kalamazoo County veterinarian. If you need our assistance to have your pet spayed or neutered, schedule your appointment and contact the Humane Society office to make arrangements to pick up the certificate before the surgery is done.
