Of the many millions of dogs and cats surrendered to shelters or abandoned each year in the United States, approximately one million surrenders/abandonments were due to the owners financial inability to provide for the basic needs of their pets; pet food and veterinary care. Our Mission is a Simple One - To save the lives of companion animals by keeping them out of shelters (where they face a very uncertain future*), and with their families. We achieve our mission through the following programs: •Pet Food Assistance Program •Veterinary Care Assistance Program •Meals for the Pets of the Homebound & Elderly Program *CARES Program *Perpetual Pet Care Program *Approximately 50% of pets surrendered to shelters never find a new home, and sadly, are euthanized.
