What do Pierce Brosnan, vanity plates and snipping pets where it counts have in common?
The new Spay and Neuter specialty plates feature original artwork by Pierce Brosnan.
The California Spay and Neuter Specialty License Plate Program, of course. These pet-focused plates feature original artwork created and donated by Mr. 007 himself, Pierce Brosnan. Brosnan's painting celebrates two of the animals he and his wife Keely have adopted: Shilo the dog and Angel Baby the cat.
The initiative was launched as an innovative way to help raise awareness and provide funding for free and low-cost spay and neuter surgeries through local animal care and control agency voucher programs and local veterinary clinics across California.
According to the latest statistics from the California Department of Public Health, the total number of dogs and cats euthanized in public shelters rose from 378,445 in 2004 to 432,512 in 2008. When the State's private shelters are included, it is estimated that more 500,000 pets are euthanized each year.
The increase in the number of homeless animals is attributed to several factors, including people abandoning their pets as a result of the mortgage and unemployment crisis, accidental litters from intact pets, over-breeding, and stray dogs and cats reproducing.
So far, the California Spay and Neuter Specialty License Plate Program has sold 1,500 plates, but it needs to reach 7,500 by June 2011 for the DMV to put the plates into production. Animal lovers can pre-order the special license plates here. | http://www.caspayplate.com/
The California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization will be responsible for managing the program. Net proceeds from the sale and annual renewal of these plates will help fund spay and neuter surgeries.
