Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shelter Pet Safety Net the same charity as Bastrop County Animal Shelter Helpers?
Yes. We changed our name, but everything else is the same.
Can you help with my pet's medical expenses?
Unfortunately, we do not have funding to assist pet owners with pet medical expenses – we can only assist with spay/neuter surgery cost. There are many options for getting your pet vaccinated at low cost in Bastrop County, see our link here. Many veterinarians offer credit to help pet owners pay for medical expenses. There is also a lot of variation in medical costs at different medical practices. SPSN often sends animals to Fayette County Veterinary Clinic for good care at lower cost.
