Event Navigation

Many animals are surrendered to shelters due to medical issues that families cannot afford. Most communities lack options for low cost, no-cost, or incremental full service medicine due to laws, vet associations, and lack of willing veterinary providers. Shelter Medicine experts from all over the country joined the Human Animal Support Services External Facing Medical Care Working Group. This group has created three toolkits to help shelters prevent financially based intake for medical cases, and to keep more people and pets together. Contributing organizations include LA Animal Services, Brampton Animal Services, Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, LifeLine Animal Project, KC Pet Project, Michigan Humane, San Diego Humane Society, Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at Cornell University, Humane Society of Sonoma County, Best Friends Animal Society, Association of Shelter Veterinarians, Toronto Humane Society, Pathway Vet Alliance, Montgomery County Animal Shelter, Banfield Pet Hospital, and Montgomery County Animal Services & Adoption Center.
