Pet Retention Program (PRP)

Pet Retention Program (PRP)

Pet Retention Program (PRP) – This initiative is a partnership between Animal Control and PAAC, designed to help pet owners who are considering surrendering their animals due to a lack of resources. On the surrender paperwork, owners have the option to request assistance rather than giving up their pets. Animal Control officers can also complete PRP forms when they encounter pet owners in the field who love their animals but may be struggling to provide proper care.

The program provides officers with an alternative solution to offer pet owners. We provide free spay/neuter services, free rabies vaccinations, dog houses, trolley systems, medical care, and more—all aimed at keeping pets with their families.

Please note: These services are only available if the owner consents to spay/neuter their pet.
