Pet Health Care for People in Extreme Poverty
Animal companions are a lifeline for people experiencing homelessness, extreme poverty or income-limiting disabilities. To someone with few resources, a pet is a family member, a source of stability and unconditional love in a cold world. Caring for a pet helps people stay sober and drug-free. Keeping animals on the streets vaccinated and free of disease is also beneficial to the entire community.
PAW Team strives to make life a little bet better for these pets and their caregivers. At our free veterinary "street" clinics, we offer vaccinations and basic health care, pet food and supplies, and coupons for spay/neuter services. Local vet clinics assist with emergency services throughout the year.
