Did you know that there are approximately 250 million registered vehicles on the road in the United States?
Did you know that many states give you the opportunity to support pet adoption and rescue when you register your vehicle?
That’s right, many states, including Colorado, Arkansas, Utah and New York all have plates that you can purchase to help shelters across your state.
It appears that California has an initiative to get pet loving plates and a group is taking pre-orders to get them.
These are just a few of the states I researched. The fees aren’t out of line for many and the funds typically go to help rescues or shelters.
For example, in my state of Arkansas, for $35, I hve the choice of purchasing one of two plates. They read: “Support Animal Rescue and Shelters” or “Spay and Neuter.”
I like the idea of not only helping shelters when I pay my fee, but also spreading the message about responsible pet ownership by reminding people that they should spay and neuter their pets.
I may just go a step further and get the “Support Animal Rescue” plate and have it put onto a personalized plate that reads: “Spayntr”
Can you imagine the good we could do for homeless pets if just half of us would purchase these plates through our state?
Check with your state’s DMV or do a google search. In many cases, you don’t even have to wait for your plates to expire before buying the specialty tags.
What do you think? Have you purchased a specialized plate that helps an animal cause?

Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell has had dogs all of her life. Her first rescue was Hershey, a miniature black and brown Dacshund. She ruled the Campbell household until 2005 when she passed away at age 16. The case of Scruffy, a Yorkshire terrier whose torture death was videotaped in 1997, horrified the nation when the tape appeared on national news shows. Kerri began covering the trial for the local daily newspaper in Kansas City, Kansas where the crime occurred. Her investigation into animal cruelty cases led to her awareness of the puppy mill problem in that state.

California drivers spend enough time on the road, at least this way they’d be spreading the word for a good cause! Hope this goes through.
