Keeping People and Pets Together
Imagine having to make the unimaginable decision to surrender a pet you love because you’re no longer able to care for it. Or consider someone who has fallen on hard times and must choose between feeding themselves or feeding the pet they love. Most often, the pet is well fed while the pet owner suffers.

Paws & Share! The Pet Pantry
There’s no denying the love people have for their pets. And there’s plenty of data that shows the positive impact pets have on their owners’ mental and physical well-being. We help pet owners by distributing pet supplies including toys, treats, cleaning products, and grooming tools plus seasonal needs through partnerships with local food pantries, shelters, and other organizations offering social services.

Paws & Read! The Pet Library
When we think about responsible pet ownership, we often picture filled food bowls, daily walks, and regular vet visits. But one essential aspect is often overlooked: literacy. Reading and understanding information is crucial to providing pets with the care they deserve. From deciphering medication labels to researching training techniques, strong literacy skills empower pet owners to be informed, compassionate, and confident caregivers.

Compassion Award Veterinary Student Scholarship
Loving and educated animal care professionals and the care they provide are crucial for households with animals and pets. Unfortunately, such care can be difficult to find in underserved areas, with this disparity threatening the health and wellness of animals. With the many difficulties and expenses that come with pursuing years of higher education, it is critical for veterinary students to be uplifted so they can complete their degrees. This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about completing their college education so they can go on to careers helping animals.

Tiny Wishes
Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking, and the emotional toll can be compounded by the financial burden of veterinary expenses. This often leaves grieving owners unable to afford memorial products. That’s why we created the Tiny Wishes Project. Our hope is to offer a small comfort, a tangible way to hold onto precious memories without adding to your worries. Through this project, we provide a small, personalized memory box to pet owners completely free of charge. This box is perfect for safeguarding a special memento, such as a collar tag or tuft of fur.
Note: Availability of these complimentary memory boxes is dependent on volunteer availability and funding.
