Help Animals in New Jersey

Dear Friend,

Did you know that you could help animals on your New Jersey resident tax forms? New Jersey's 2010 tax forms provide an opportunity to make a donation to the state's low-cost spay/neuter program.

The Department of Health and Senior Services' Animal Population Control Program helps provide low cost spay/neuter services for residents on public assistance programs, or for those who have adopted from state animal shelters or rescue groups. Here's how you can help:

1. On line 63 of your tax form, check the "other box."

2. Fill in your dollar amount to contribute to the fund.

3. Fill in "10" for the "Cat and Dog Spay/Neuter Fund" on the "Other Designated Contribution" line of the New Jersey Resident 1040 tax form. That's it! Additional details are provided in the tax info booklet on page 42 »

You can also help animals by purchasing an "Animal Friendly" license plate, which features characters from MUTTS, created by New Jersey's own Patrick McDonnell. Learn more »

Thanks for all you do for animals.
