The Stay Together Program is designed to help animals stay in their homes, with the families who love them. By offering short-term assistance, our goal is to prevent animals from entering the overwhelmed shelter system and keep families together. We know how deeply you care about your animal, and we’re here to see if we can support you during this difficult time.
Things to Know
We review applications Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. This is not an emergency program, and we are typically able to respond within three business days. A member of our team may reach out by phone or email to learn more about your situation and explore how we might be able to help.
Because this program is funded by donations, we often share pet stories and photos (never personal information) to inspire support and help more animals.
How It Works
If you’re looking for help, the first step is to complete a brief application. Once we receive your form, our team will review your request and be in touch—usually within 3 business days.
Please note:
This program is not designed for emergencies.
We are unable to cover expenses that have already been paid for.
Applying does not guarantee assistance, but we promise to treat every request with care and compassion.
If your application is approved, we will work directly with service providers (veterinarians, groomers, boarding facilities, animal behaviorists etc.). We do not send funds directly to individuals.
