With many owned pets in need of care, our hope is to help as many as possible, and at no or as little cost as possible to the owners. While we may consider funding programs that deliver all types of veterinary care for owned pets, we prioritize free or nearly free preventive and wellness care, as well as basic care to address minor injuries and illnesses (such as ear or eye infections). If appropriate and cost-effective, we may consider providing you an in-kind donation of medications or vaccines in conjunction with a grant award. With many pets in need, we may not be able to approve funding for microchips, expensive orthopedic, specialty, or emergency care.

Eligibility Notes
Eligible programs:
Organizations must have their own veterinarian and veterinary professionals on staff, or must contract with or work with volunteer professionals. Our funds may be used for the direct cost of medications, drugs, vaccines, and medical supplies. The intent of your program must be to help vulnerable or low-income pet owners who may not otherwise be able to access or afford veterinary care for their pets, but you do not necessarily need to screen for income eligibility.
