Perhaps best known for his role as James Bond, Pierce Brosnan is also making a name for himself as an activist and artist. The many organizations Brosnan supports include various environmental, animal and child welfare, and women's health initiatives.
In one of his latest endeavors, Brosnan has put his signature on a new initiative designed to provide funding for low or no-cost spaying and neutering of dogs and cats in California.

The California Spay and Neuter Specialty License Plate Program features original artwork created and donated by Brosnan.
“The Spay and Neuter License Plate Program is a brilliant initiative,” noted Dr. Stephanie Ferguson, Vice President of the California Veterinary Medical Board. “The proceeds from this program will tremendously benefit animal shelters and help curtail the number of homeless animals throughout the state. We’re also extremely fortunate to have the generosity and crucial support of Pierce Brosnan and other well-known celebrities,” she added.
The California Spay and Neuter License Plate Program will help raise awareness about the overwhelming number of homeless and unwanted dogs and cats in California and the importance of spaying and neutering pets to save animal lives. The program will fund spay and neuter surgeries through local animal care and control agency voucher programs and through in-house or local veterinary clinics.
Two kinds of new specialty plates are available at a cost of $50 or $98. Net proceeds from the sale and annual renewal of these plates will fund spay and neuter surgeries, not shelter overhead costs.
