We understand that things happen and we might not be prepared for them. Pet emergencies and extra care can lead to stress and when we can't support our non-human family members it can make us feel like we are in a crisis. To help we have put together a short list of some pet finicial assistance programs. 

Please note that these are all funding dependant and might not be accepting applications at this moment. If you need extra support or guidence please reach out to our social worker.

  • Vet Direct through AAEP  must be done by a veterinrian that is a member of the AAEP, but it designed to keep horses with their families when an emergency arises. 
 

Crowdfunding and Other Resources 

  • Waggle crowdfunding website & they pay the veterinary clinic directly.
  • Companion Bridge Pet owners submit their pets story and vet records and Companion Bridge posts their pets story for 30 days on their website to receive donations. They do not assist with physical therapy, long term treatments (cancer, diabetes, etc.) or genetic hip & knee problems.
  • Free Animal Doctor is a non profit crowdfunding website that sends funds directly to a veterinarian. This may help folks donating feel more confident that their donation is going directly where it needs to go and ease fears of fraud.
  • CoFund My Pet, owners submit a campaign and after raising $25.00, pet owners are issued a CoFundMy Debit card (MasterCard) to use for veterinary expenses.
