Grant Policies – Treatment

In order to provide treatment for dogs and cats suffering from cancer we work directly with other non-profit organizations and veterinarians who are qualified to evaluate the pet, as well as the ability of the owner/guardian to pay for treatment.

The following quidelines will be used for preliminary evaluation of both the pet's prognosis and the owner's needs prior to distribution of any aid.

• The pet has a form of cancer that can be treated with a one, or a combination of: surgery, chemotherapeutics, radiation and alternative treatment methods.
• The pet's prognosis is good with an expected lifespan of > 2 years, if (a) is performed.
• The pet is not in the latter stages of their normal, expected lifespan.
• The owner has insufficient means to pay for (a) as documented by:
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Unemployment Insurance (UI)
• Food Stamp Program
• Medicaid
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
• The owner does not qualify for under section (d), but has a temporary financial hardship as documented by the owner and attested to by the owner's primary veterinarian. Some examples of this may include, but not be restricted to:
  • Current year tax returns
  • Recent evidence of income
  • Signed affidavit attesting to need
• The maximum grant amount will be $500.00 per pet per year and may be less.
• All grants will be made directly to service providers.
• Under no circumstances will funds be sent directly to the pet owner.
