PaLC's New Project

Interested in finding sustainable funding sources for targeted pet population programs, the new PaLC team is working to research and analyze (among other state and fundraising programs) Animal Friendly License Plate programs in Virginia and around the country with the purpose of of making best practice recommendations for the programs.

Their new website also serves as a central information resource and collaborative forum for those interested in reviewing the existing programs and making best practice decisions for their own states.

To date, many states have passed "Animal Friendly" legislation or have speciality license plates laws, and several other states are on their way. In addition several states are starting to add state wide pet population programs, funded by dog license fees, and state check off programs.

These programs vary greatly by state, and it is important to define best practices to assist states in ensuring the success of existing or future AFLP and other state fundraising programs.

Note: Several states are reviewing their overall specialty plate programs.

To learn more explore our website and also subscribe to the Animal Friendly License Plate discussion forum, where PaLC provides a growing collection of information on the various state discussions and approaches to the issues.
