How Help My Pet Fundraisers Work
← Ways to raise money for your pet
Help My Pet can give your pet’s fundraiser its own free page with your story, your GoFundMe link, updates, and optional merchandise that supporters can buy. Each fundraiser is set up with you individually.

What you get
- A page for your pet on helpmypet.us that you can share anywhere.
- Your GoFundMe or other fundraiser link, front and center. Already have one? Keep it. Donations stay on that platform.
- Updates you send us, added to your page so supporters can follow along.
- Optional: shirts, hoodies and more featuring your pet, made to order and shipped for you. You never have to sell anything. You choose prices with us and confirm your earnings before launch.
- No setup or design fees.
What to know
- Merchandise is made to order. Allow about 8 business days for production, plus shipping.
- Merchandise fundraising takes time and depends on sales. It is not immediate or guaranteed funding.
- Merchandise purchases use a separate secure checkout. GoFundMe donations stay on GoFundMe.
How we keep fundraisers honest
- You don’t need medical records or paperwork to start.
- Before anything goes live, we review your story with you, along with any GoFundMe or social pages you share.
- Your page shows supporters what you’ve chosen to share. Posting an update now and then helps people feel confident supporting you.
- Anyone can report a concern about a fundraiser. We review every report and can pause a page while we look into it.
Photos and privacy
The request form accepts a photo from your phone or computer, up to 15 MB. Original photos and contact details stay private during review, and we confirm what you want published before your page launches. Please don’t send bank details, medical records, or artwork you don’t have permission to use.
