New Jersey Veterinary Foundation (NJVF) supports needy pet owners
 |
Not all animal owners are able to afford the costs of veterinarians or laboratory costs if their animal becomes sick. Especially older people are affected. A program of the NJVF called Healing Hands for Needy Paws is started in cooperation with veterinary practices and veterinary labors. It will provide medical care to pets whose ownersÂ’ salaries permit them to receive government assistance.

Participating practices can receive up to $1,000 per year for the program. Payments under the fund will be granted on a cost only basis, without compensation for veterinary labor or profit.
To qualify for the program the animal must be domestic, owned, sick, injured or in need of emergency care. The owner will pay a one time fee of $30 to the organization.
