Pet Good Samaritan Fund
We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit tax deductible fund.
Our mission is to prevent economic euthanasia for treatable pet emergencies by providing monetary assistance to pet owners who are experiencing financial hardship.
Meet George – The first PGSF recipient!
George arrived at the vet clinic blocked and purring. A blocked cat is unable to urinate and, without treatment he would continue to experience extreme pain and eventually die. His mom had $400. An unblocking at this clinic runs $800 – $1500. His mom applied for immediate assistance and because of our generous donors, sweet George was saved.
No pet should suffer or be euthanized due to economic reasons.
A passion for saving lives
PGSF collaborates with veterinary hospitals to provide life-saving treatment for pets at risk of economic euthanasia.
Who Qualifies for PGSF funding?
- PGSF provides financial help to owners of pets in need of emergency or critical veterinary care
- Pets must have already been seen by a veterinarian within the past two weeks and your veterinarian has determined that your pet has an immediate life-threatening or critical care condition
- Pets must have a good prognosis with treatment
PGSF cannot provide assistance for the following:
- Initial exam/consultation fees
- Routine or non-emergency care (i.e. vaccines, spay/neuter, cruciate ligament tears, etc.)
- Services or treatment that have already taken place (prior to PGSF approval)
- Conditions requiring ongoing treatment (i.e. Diabetes, Addison’s disease, Heart disease, etc.)
- Conditions with a poor or guarded prognosis
- Please note PGSF can only assist one time if the PGSF is not reimbursed in whole for the amount provided before the second request is made.
