Our Program provides emergency funding to help pets recover from life-threatening injuries or illnesses. Often, these pets are found as strays in critical condition. Donations to this program offset the cost of veterinary care, transport and other essential services to give deserving pets their best chance to find a loving home. Here are some of the pets whose lives have been saved thanks to your generous donations.
