Petfund.com
The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or medical treatment. Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal down or neglect medical needs because of the costs involved. 

BrownDogFoundation.org
Thank you for contacting Brown Dog Foundation.  We are an organization dedicated to helping families who find themselves in a temporary financial crisis at the same time their pet requires life-saving treatment or life-sustaining medications.  We are designed as a one-time benefit.  We are committed to ensuring we help maintain and strengthen the bond between pets and their families during times of unexpected financial crisis.  As a result, if your application is approved and funded,  we will require very detailed information and long-term commitments. 


STARelief.org
STARelief is a group of volunteers dedicated to keeping pets and families together during hard financial times.  We do this by providing life-saving pet food, supplies, and veterinary care to families in need.  Our goal is to reduce the number of pets that are left behind or surrendered to local animal shelters, and to work toward a future where decisions about providing food or medical care for pets are never made on the basis of c


 IMOM.ORG This all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charity helps people cover vet bills when they just can’t do it themselves. They also help with spay/neuter and have a staff on hand to answer questions or get you the resources you need for any issues with your pet.

YouCaring.com
Youcaring.com is a free crowdfunding site that focuses on raising money for people who need it for personal reasons – everything from education to pet expenses. Each month, they have over 2,000 crowdfunding campaigns for people needing help with pet care costs. Recently, Cheryl Dohn raised more than $8,000 on her campaign (goal was only $2,500) to help her dog Roxy Mama.

Harley’s Hope Foundation
This nonprofit’s mission is to ensure low income pet parents and their companion or service animals remain together when issues arise. Some of the services they offer include: Pet Assistance Fund, Service Animal Aid Fund, Senior Services Project and Medical. More can be found on their website.

 Banfield Charitable Trust
The Banfield Pet Hospital has its own programs for owners that can’t afford their pet’s care. Of course they cover emergency surgeries, but they also cover routine, preventative care.

Meals on Wheels
Many people do not realize that Meals on Wheels also helps people feed their pets. Sponsored by Banfield Pet Hostpital, the Meals on Wheels Pet Program was created to make sure seniors were able to provide food for their pets.

The Onyx & Breezy Foundation
Another privately run nonprofit started in memory of the founder’s dogs, this foundation has a host of programs including helping people with medical bills. They also donate to many other programs, including cancer research, and they are a good resource for information if you need help finding a grant that fits your situation.

MS Animal Disaster Relief Fund

The Mississippi Animal Disaster Relief Fund (MADRF) was established by the Mississippi 
Board of Animal Health (MBAH), the Mississippi Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) and 
the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine (MSU-CVM) to provide a 
mechanism in which monetary donations could be received and disbursements made following 
Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Following this event, the fund was utilized to provide care to 
animals and to support reestablishment of local infrastructure. The MADRF has been 
transitioned to a permanent fund that can provide assistance to Mississippians and their animals 
affected by any disaster in the state.
