S/N License Plate
Order Your Pet-Friendly Massachusetts License Plates Now!

Many thousands of pets are euthanized every year in Massachusetts because there are just too many, and here's an easy (and fun) way YOU can help. Get the new spay/neuter license plates for your car! These plates provide the first (and so far, only) statewide funding for spay/neuter. States with statewide funding for spay/neuter are successful at reducing pet euthanasia rates; those without, are generally not. We're overjoyed that after years of hard work, the plates are finally here and we can join the states WITH statewide programs. But only with your help - you can make a difference plus, of course, they're cool! For more information see the Massachusetts Animal Coalition website, or go directly to the RMV.
