Support our emergency vet expenses
During our adoption process, we encounter situations where an adoptable becomes urgently in need of veterinary care. These unexpected expenses can be overwhelming, especially for those nearing the end of their lives or families who have recently lost a loved one.
Through your generosity and support, we can cover more than $10,000 of emergency veterinary expenses for our adoptables each year.
