Frequently Asked Questions
|
Q: What is the purpose of the Animal Friendly Fund? A: Stray dogs and cats not only cause disfiguring and life threatening injuries to humans but also cost taxpayers over $20 million a year for animal control. Unwanted dogs and cats are killed in Texas animal shelters at the rate of over 1 per minute, 365 days a year. Much of this needless human and animal suffering could be prevented by owners spaying and neutering their pets. |
For information on how to obtain a plate, call the Texas Department of Transportation, Special Plates Branch, at (512) 374-5010 or download (PDF) a copy of the application. |

Q: How does my purchase of an Animal Friendly License plate help? A: Animal Friendly plates cost $30. $8 covers administrative costs with the remaining $22 going to the Texas Department of State Health Services Animal Friendly Fund to provide grants to eligible organizations to provide low-cost spays and neuters. |
