Pet-Friendly License Plates

Pet-friendly specialty license plates that fund spay/neuter are becoming more and more common. There are now 22 states with such plates, and the amount of money raised can be anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. There are many different ways of developing pet-friendly plates, so it is recommended that you do your own research.

Prevent a Litter Coalition (PaLC) is researching and analyzing animal-friendly license plate programs around the country with the purpose of making best-practice recommendations for the programs. Their website also serves as a central information resource and collaborative forum for those interested in reviewing their existing programs and making best practice decisions for their own states.

How you do something similar in your community

Visit the PaLC website and review the legislation from other states. Find the program that fits what you want to do,, and contact the group in that state responsible for getting the plate passed. Talk with them to learn what worked and what didn't so you can learn from their experience.

Once you have done your homework, develop your plan and approach the legislature about introducing a pet-friendly license plate bill in your state.
