Services Provided
- In-home Pet Care- We provide volunteers who can walk your dog, clean bird cages and aquariums, exercise your cat and change its litterbox, or simply feed your pets.
- Pet Food and Supplies- Assistance is available in obtaining pet food and supplies.
- Veterinary Care- We can provide help in obtaining professional pet health care for a pet through our network of partner-veterinarians.
- Foster Care- Temporary housing and care for pets are provided if the owner is hospitalized.
- Adoptions- Assistance is offered in placement of pets when the human companion dies or is no longer able to maintain the pet. Please click on the links here at PetFinder if you would like to see who we have up for adoption right now. All pets adopted will only be sent to local homes, usually within the four counties we serve. The pets are not kept at the office, so please do not arrive expecting to look over the cats and dogs we have up for adoption - appointments must be made in advance.
- Pet Grooming Transportation- Our volunteers can offer transportation to grooming and veterinary appointments.
- Education- We act as a resource and referral network and can provide health and educational information, including "safe pet" guidelines to owners. We also offer a speakers bureau about our programs and the issues we are concerned with.
- Long-Term Planning- Assistance is offered in planning to insure for continuous pet care, and legal resources and referrals for wills and power-of-attorney documents.
