California car owners have quite a few options when it comes to paying extra for vanity license plates, but where does that money actually end up going?
SACRAMENTO â From preventing overcrowding at animal shelters to keeping the ocean and beaches clean, the state's specialty license plates raise millions each year for good causes.'It's not just a pretty plate that looks good on your car,' said Annie Frankel of the California Coastal Commission. 'It really means something.
The money goes toward funding the shelter's popular low-cost spay and neuter clinic.'We release appointments for those programs every single month,' said Dawn Foster with the SPCA. 'They literally fill up within minutes.'More than 30% of the shelter is filled with Chihuahuas and pit bulls. They are using the extra funding specifically to spay and neuter those two types of breeds.Under the program, pet alterations that normally cost up to $450 are offered as low as $25.
