Locals get up to $300 for adopting a pet
Rancho Mirage residents who adopt a pet from the Coachella Valley Animal Campus or any certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization can receive up to $300 from the city to help defray adoption fees and pet care expenses.
The money will come as a reimbursement as part of a newly approved amendment to the Animal Adoption Incentive Program.
The AAIP currently provides Rancho Mirage residents with a reimbursement for spay or neuter and microchipping. Dogs are eligible for a maximum of $85, cats $60, and microchipping $25.
