A local paper had a fascinating article about providing emergency veterinary assistance to low income pet owners.
The United Animal Nations provides small grants to people in emergency situations. These grants run between $100 - $300.
If you know someone who is homeless and their pet needs veterinary care they can go to the Mercer Veterinary Clinic.
Our local shelters and SPCA are not equipped to provide emergency care and they will refer you to an emergency pet hospital. Please do not surrender your pet to those agencies in the hope they will receive emergency care, if they have an abundance of needy pets they will euthanize pets in need of medical attention.
If you are looking for a place to donate funds or time please contact some of these agencies. Marley and I participate in the Mercer Vet clinic Santa Paws fundraiser every year and we have a great time.
