Louisiana's 'Animal Friendly' license plate was created to help local charities, animal shelters and veterinarians provide urgently needed pet sterilization programs for Louisiana residents on public assistance.

Under state law, proceeds from sale of these plates are to be used to fund to low-cost spay and neuter programs and services. The funds are distributed by the Louisiana Pet Overpopulation Council, a state board comprised of representatives of humane organizations, animal shelters, elected officials, veterinarians and concerned citizens.

For the license plate program to be as successful as it has been in other states—raising hundred of thousands of dollars for pet sterilizations and significantly cutting shelter euthanasia rates—animal lovers across Louisiana must be encouraged to purchase their own 'Animal Friendly' plates!

By purchasing the special ANIMAL FRIENDLY license plate you help to supplement spay and neutering for those who normally could not afford to pay for these services.

Your purchase of the ANIMAL FRIENDLY plate for your vehicle, helps prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens. The program provides supplemental funding for spaying and neutering for thousands of pets and encourages the adoption of thousands more each year.
