Everyone hopes that their pets live a long, healthy life. Unfortunately, pets do get sick and injured, sometimes very seriously. Medical treatment can be very expensive and sometimes just too much for the owners.

Providing financial assistance does not fall within MAF's mission, but the following organizations may be able to help with veterinary medical expenses. They all have specific criteria that must be met in order to qualify for aid. Please be sure to read the information carefully.

There are many other organizations that can help cover the costs of veterinary bills. Many are specific to one breed, so check with the local breed rescue organization to see if there is one for your pet. Also, check with your local shelter or chapter of the humane society. These organizations typically know of other organizations that may help only on a local level.
