Our mission is to help the animals of our community as well as the people who love them. We are dedicated to being a resource for all things animal for the community, to educating the next generation about animal welfare issues, and working to address the root causes of animal homelessness in the community.
Assistance for pet owners facing hardship
Many seniors, military vets and lower income families find they can no longer afford to care for the pets they love. We help them to keep these animals in their own homes--and out of shelters --by providing low cost veterinary services, free pet food, supplies and more.
Pet food pantry
In 2020, we donated over 12,000 pounds of pet food to local community food pantries and families facing financial hardship.
Community leader
We are the top resource for animal-related issues in our area, and when issues arise, we are who the community turns to. In fall of 2017, after the devastating hurricane and floods in Houston, TX, many local residents called us to inquire how to help the animals of that region. We quickly organized a pet food and supplies drive and were able to gather 2,000 pounds of urgently needed items and get them to recipients in Texas within one week. Our supporters sewed recovery pouches for wildlife injured in the devastating wildfires in Australia in 2020. We are the go-to resource for animals in our region.
