Many of the requests for help we receive are owners wanting to surrender their pets because of a medical issue that they cannot afford to care for. While we are sometimes able to help on a case by case basis, there are a number of other nonprofit organizations that have been created specifically to help owners pay for veterinary care they cannot afford.

Here is a list of nonprofit organizations that might be able to help:
