Our Pawmise

Because no pet should be denied care due to cost

Mission & Vision

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.

What We Do

Financial Assistance

One-time grants paid directly to veterinarians for non-routine treatments like tumor removal, heart disease care, or orthopedic surgeries.

Pet Owner Education

We share resources on preventive care, pet insurance, and financial planning to help owners stay prepared.

Referrals

For emergency or basic care, we guide applicants to trusted local resources.

What Makes Us Different

Run by Pet Owners

Our team personally understands the heartbreak and financial stress of pet illness.

East Bay Focus

We keep it local, ensuring faster and more personalized help.

All Pets Welcome

Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds—every companion matters.
