Veterinary Assistance

PAWS of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap provides low income families with emergency financial aid for veterinary expenses. Often this can mean the difference between keeping a beloved pet and being forced to surrender the pet to a rescue in order to get necessary medical attention.

PAWS helps hundreds of families every year with pets suffering from illnesses or injuries.

Testimonials

Vet-Assist – Pancho

I want to thank you so very much for helping my Rescue dog who I have had for a year now. When Pancho, a rescued tea cup chihuahua came to us, he did nothing but sleep... he came from a hoarders house and was living with 45 other dogs. He had a broken jaw and almost all teeth removed... His jaw had been wired together for healing process, however somehow it unattached ...and was causing an infection. From the time I took him in he was never able to bark or play. Now he is a different dog and barks happily to greet us each day we come home... he loves to go to the dog park and play... thank you PAWS for helping with some of the cost.

Vet-Assist – Callie and Oddie

Thank you for the $75. It helped with getting Prednisone shots for my cats when they had breathing problems from the mold in our apartment. They are breathing better and we are able to proceed with our plans to move to a safer place. Callie and Oddie help me when my PTSD flares up and I would be lost without them!

Vet Assist – Sally

I want to thank you very much for the assistance I received for my cat Sally. I wouldn't have been able to take her to the vet without it. She had a strange growth on her ear, which turned out to be cancer, much like when we humans get skin cancer. The vet removed it and that took care of it. I am very happy to say she is feeling much better.

Vet Assist – Michael

Thank you for following up on Michael's dog! The help you gave him and his pet was so much more than you think. He was so nervous coming in and asking for help and you set him right at ease. Michael is homeless and his dog is all he has. We keep an eye out for him but life is not easy for him. We took his dog to the vet you chose (Tender Touch). They were fantastic, they gave him medicine and shampoo and his dog is doing so well. He tells all about your kindness and will be forever grateful for all the help he was given. Your service is so needed in this area! I also thank you for your help to my friend and his beloved pet.

Vet Assist – Bud

I was in the Navy overseas for four years. Now pretty much all my money goes to my college expenses, along with some help from my dad. My dog, Bud, is my best friend -- everybody loves him and he's just a big "people dog" who follows me everywhere. When I found out he had a fungal infection in his lungs, and would need medication for 7 months, I was like "whoa" when I found out the cost. Thank God for PAWS because, honestly, it would be devastating to lose him. I hope people realize that by helping out this fund they're not just helping an animal. It's so much more than that.

I thank god PAWS is available to help people like me who have an extremely low income. My dog is doing better now thankfully! I only wish there was more funding available for each animal who's owner needs financial help getting their pets the best of care. I became disabled when he was a very young dog, and before that I was able to have pet insurance and was able to always provide him with the best of care. Now I feel horrible because I can't give him the care a 9yr old rottweiler deserves, check ups, etc,... That said, we were lucky to have what free care PAWS provided. Thank you!
