Community Assistance Program
(Application below)
This program is meant for individuals needing financial assistance. (please see the conditions below to receive funding).
Hard times can affect anyone, regardless of their zip code, employment status, or socio-economic background. To support families and prevent their beloved pets from entering overcrowded shelters, we are committed to taking all necessary steps to keep these families together.
We are here to offer support, resources, and services such as food assistance, lifesaving medical care, behavioral training, or spay/neuter services to those (located in NY, NJ, or GA) in temporary need. We will do everything we can to ensure equitable access to help.
*Food Assistance
Many families temporarily face difficult financial times and may require assistance caring for their pets. We believe that no one should face the difficult decision of surrendering their pet because they cannot afford the cost of food. So, if your animal companion(s) are hungry, please email us at info@houndsinpounds.org.
*Veterinary Care Assistance (this includes spay and neuter)
The expenses associated with routine or emergency veterinary care should not prevent you from keeping your pet as a cherished member of your family or from seeking necessary medical attention for an illness or injury. We encourage you to review our eligibility criteria and complete a brief application if you qualify.
