PETS
Financial Aid
Under the program, pet owners in the Bay Area who demonstrate financial need will be eligible to receive up to $1,000 for veterinary care as well funding for basic supplies, such as pet food and cat litter. Applications for the program are being accepted on the Pets In Need website at www.petsinneed.org/assistance.
In addition, we are partnering with the Ecumenical Hunger Program in East Palo Alto to distribute pet food and supplies to EHP clients with pets at home. We are also continuing to provide financial support and supplies to partner shelters in the Central Valley.
How to help the animal shelters, here is an article that discusses that with links.

(Seriously, I so super recommend these. I'm on day 6 of a 30 day challenge and have done another half dozen of her videos in the last week. They start off very easy, she always suggests modifications, and they build on each other really well.)
