LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky's spay or neuter special license plate was redesigned for the first time in more than 20 years.
The design was made by a Lexington graphic artist and features peek-a-boo images of a kitten and dog with the words "Spay or neuter your pets" and a red pawprint in the shape of a heart overlapping the words.
"Practicing responsible pet ownership and the need to reduce the stray and homeless pet population are the messages surrounding this new eye-catching plate design," Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell said in a news release. "Kentucky has 411 animal shelters and animal welfare organizations making it obvious we, as a society, need to do more to control the pet population. This plate reminds us of that in a beautiful new way."
Proceeds from the sales go to the Animal Control and Care Fund. Since the license plate was first introduced, sales have equated to more than $600,000 in grants being awarded to organizations.
This has resulted in more than 17,200 cats and dogs being spayed or neutered.
The plate is available to purchase at County Clerk offices or online.
