Educational and Community Programs

  • For Community

    We engage with diverse communities at a variety of animal welfare and other social events throughout the bay area. Our goal at these events is to educate and to provide free health and wellness information

  • For Grantees

    Pets provide a fundamental role in society and in the family and should be cared for when in need, regardless of the pet families’ financial circumstances.

  • For Pets

    The bond between a pet and its owner can be one of the strongest relationships in a person’s life. Pets rely on their owners to keep them safe, fed and loved. In return, pets show loyalty, listen to problems, and provide unmatched companionship.
