Make an impact by investing in your community to eliminate economic euthanasia and surrender
No family should lose their pet — to a treatable illness they can't afford, or to a hardship that forces them to give the pet up. And when a pet does pass, no family should have to say goodbye without dignity.
Keeping pets and families together — through every hard moment
Hero Funds
Preventing economic euthanasia. Each partner clinic's Hero Fund helps families afford treatment for a pet who can be saved — so cost never decides a winnable case.
Crisis Support
Preventing economic surrender. When disaster or hardship would otherwise force a family to give up their pet, we help them stay together — funded by general gifts, as resources allow.
Aftercare
A dignified goodbye. When a pet passes, a $750 investment provides cremation and keepsakes for the family — through a member crematory, or one we find near the case.
What your investment makes possible
Illustrative national averages — actual costs vary by clinic and case.
| Gift | Impact |
|---|---|
| $25 | One core vaccine, or a portion of a wellness exam |
| $50 | A full round of vaccines for one pet |
| $75 | A complete wellness exam |
| $150 | A low-cost spay or neuter |
| $500 | A private-clinic spay/neuter, or emergency diagnostics (X-rays + bloodwork) |
| $750 | A dignified goodbye when a pet passes — cremation and keepsakes for the family |
| $1,000 | Emergency exam + initial stabilization for a crisis case |
| $2,500 | A broken leg, fully repaired |
| $5,000 | Major orthopedic surgery — the difference between amputation and full recovery |
The gap isn't love. It's access.

The Hero Fund
Every partner clinic gets its own Hero Fund — a dedicated, transparent way for their community to invest directly in patients who need help. The clinic becomes the hero in their own community. We're the infrastructure behind it.
