Because no pet should be denied care due to cost
Our mission is to save and improve pet lives by helping East Bay pet owners afford critical veterinary care. We work to eliminate "economic euthanasia" by offering grants and education to families in need.
Our vision: a future where no pet is surrendered or put down due to financial hardship.
One-time grants paid directly to veterinarians for non-routine treatments like tumor removal, heart disease care, or orthopedic surgeries.
We share resources on preventive care, pet insurance, and financial planning to help owners stay prepared.
For emergency or basic care, we guide applicants to trusted local resources.
Our team personally understands the heartbreak and financial stress of pet illness.
We keep it local, ensuring faster and more personalized help.
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds—every companion matters.
