This
list is for informational purposes only and should
not be construed as an endorsement or recommendation
of any of the individuals or groups listed. You
should research organizations thoroughly before deciding
to work with a particular group. Please be patient
when contacting rescuers, and keep in mind that many
are all-volunteer (many have full-time jobs and families
in addition to their rescue work) and foster care-based
(which means they do not have a shelter facility to
house the animals in their care). Only organizations
with physical shelter or sanctuary locations have
an address listed. If you would like mailing addresses
for the groups, contact them via phone or email, or
visit their website for more information.

FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE
Please
note that there are not many organizations that offer
financial assistance for veterinary medical bills
for pet owners, other than spay/neuter. Funding for
animal-related groups is already extremely limited,
and many earmark their funds for homeless animals,
rather than owned animals. Neglecting to get an animal
necessary vet care is against the law, and the fact
that it is expensive is not a defense. People who
do not feel they can afford vet care for their pets
may wish to call local vet clinics to see if any will
work with them on payment arrangements, keeping in
mind that many clinics require payment at the time
of service and are not obligated to clients to offer
payment arrangements.
Low-Cost
Prescriptions for Your Pets
Retail outlets such as Target, Wal-Mart, Costco and
Sam's Club may be able to fill your pet's prescription
from your vet at a significantly lower price than
other pharmacies. Whether or not these types of discount
programs will benefit you and your pet depend on many
factors, including the store's policies, brand/generic
name, strength, dosage, etc. Please call around to
different pharmacies to find the most reasonable price
for your pet's prescription.
CareCredit
Client Payment Plans
Some
veterinary clinics may offer this credit card, providing
a line of credit to pet owners. Please contact your
local vet to see if they participate in this program
and to read all the disclosures about your responsibilities
with this credit plan.
