Operation Spay Gray

Up to $200 reimbursed, available to owners of purebred Weimaraners in New Jersey, Delaware & Pennsylvania. For information on the importance of spay/neuter, click here.

About the Program: 
TSWR believes in the importance of spaying and neutering not only to save the lives of weimaraners but to insure their good health. As a result of our fundraising efforts in connection with the Hair of the Dog 5K Race, we began 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.  However, no financial information needs to be supplied to us for approval of your application for reimbursement. Since we no longer receive funding from the Hair of the Dog 5K Race, this program is subject to fund availablity and will be capped at $1500 for the year 2013.

*PLEASE NOTE THIS PROGRAM IS FOR PUREBRED WEIMARANERS in NJ, PA an DE ONLY.
