As a result of our fundraising efforts in
connection with the Hair of the Dog 5K Race,
we are able to offer spay/neuter
reimbursements to the public. It is our
intention to reduce the amount of
weimaraners that are unwanted, being turned
into shelters, and/or euthanized throughout
our community and to keep healthy those
weimaraners that are wanted and loved. This
program is geared toward individuals who do
not have the financial means to have their
weimaraners spayed or neutered. TSWR
believes in the importance of spaying and
neutering not only to save the lives of
weimaraners but to insure their good
health. In order to participate you must
qualify. Please read the rules below:
1. Your dog must be a purebred
weimaraner over the age of 18 months. (If
proof of date of birth can not be provided,
we will age the dog from a photo.)
2. To participate you must live in
NJ, DE or PA. You must provide proof of
residence such as a copy of drivers’ license
or utility bill.
3. The weimaraner must belong to the
participant.
4. You must first register and be
pre-approved prior to reimbursement.
5. Participants will be reimbursed
in the following amounts:
Up to $150.00 for any purebred
male Weimaraner
Up to $200.00 for any purebred
female Weimaraner
You will only be reimbursed for
the price of the surgery and associated
routine costs which would include,
anesthesia, pain relief medication, and
antibiotics if needed, additional expenses
for including but not limited to, hernia
surgery, prolapsed uterus, teeth cleaning,
vaccinations, blood work, etc. will not be
reimbursable.
6. You must provide a itemized
receipt indicating that a spay/neuter took
place, the date of the surgery, your name
and address, the dog’s name, breed and age.
You must also email us with a current photo
of your dog (we will use these for
promotional purposes as well).
7. You may choose whatever
veterinarian you want. If you chose a vet
that charges more than the allotted amount
of the reimbursement you do so at your own
expense.
8. Up to two weimaraners per family
can apply depending on availability of
funds.
9. The funds which were put aside
for this program were obtained through
donations. We reserve the right to
discontinue the program at any time and
resume same at any time we feel
appropriate. A situation wherein the
discontinuation of the program might happen
might be wherein an emergency arises where a
dog is in need of medical attention and the
rescue board feels that we need to
discontinue the program in order to use the
funds to assist in that dog’s medical care.
10. If we feel a need to discontinue
the program, any participant who has
registered and been approved and already had
their dog’s surgery completed will be
reimbursed. Others who have registered but
have not had the surgery may be notified
that we no longer have the funds to
reimburse them but that they will be
considered first when and if we decide to
resume the program.
11. Once you submit your registration
you will receive an email within 14 days
indicating whether or not you are approved
for the program. If you qualify, you will
have 60 days from the date of approval to
have the surgery completed, except under
extenuating circumstances where it is not
possible to perform the surgery before the
60 days.
12. This program is not retroactive.
Your weim must be spayed or neutered after
the date your registration is approved.
13. The rescue is in no way liable for
any medical issues or complications due to
the spay/neuter surgery and takes no
responsibility whatsoever for same.
This program will conclude in conjunction
with Spay Day USA on
February 24, 2009.
Thank
you for being a responsible pet owner.
