Potential Grant Opportunities for Pet Owners
Although we are not in a position to give financial assistance to individual pet owners for pet health costs, there are a number of resources available that may be helpful. Please view the list of potential grant opportunities below and hopefully one or more of these may be helpful for your situation.
For emergency care for a pet's illness or injury, we have set up an Angel Fund grant program for low-income Lancaster residents who qualify. However, funding is very limited for this program. You can find more information, qualifications and application here.
CareCredit (www.carecredit.com) may be an option. Please visit their website to view the requirements and application.
