How to Get Help Help-A-Pet is a nonprofit organization which provides financial assistance to pet owners who are unable to afford the cost of veterinary services, medicine, or medical supplies for a sick or injured pet. To qualify, your annual income must be below $20,000 for an individual household or $40,000 for a family household (amount varies upon the number of dependents). Due to limited funding, financial assistance can only be provided once per pet.

Any documentation or photos provided to Help-A-Pet cannot be returned.To apply, please provide the following:

• A complete and signed application
• An application with questions left unanswered will not be considered for assistance
• A copy of your most recent federal tax return filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), not a pay stub or W2 form. If you do not file a Federal Tax Return, please provide a copy of government assistance documentations such as a disability income or food stamp letter, or a medical aid care.

ONLY THOSE APPLICANTS WHO HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE NOTIFIED. REGRETFULLY, OVERWHELMING DEMAND AND LIMITED FUNDING PREVENT HELP-A-PET FROM ASSISTING EVERY QUALIFIED APPLICANT. APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION WITHIN A WEEK OF APPLYING CAN ASSUME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED. IF APPROVED, PAYMENT WILL BE MADE DIRECTLY TO THE VETERINARIAN OR MEDICAL SUPPLIER. ANY DETERMINATION MADE BY HELP-A-PET SHALL BE FINAL AND NOT SUBJECT TO REVIEW. CLICK HERE FOR APPLICATION
