How to reach them

Where: United States

Good to know

  • Payment policy: Payment goes directly to a pre-approved veterinary hospital.
  • Who can use it: The pet must have a treatable disease or injury and the owner must live in the United States. Help is case by case, first come first served, and not guaranteed. The group reports a serious funding shortage, so ask first.
  • How to get started: Complete the confidential online application linked at lucytherescuedog.org/ask-for-help.html. Do not email asking for help. If a delay could risk your pet's life, get critical care first.

Before you go

Call or check their page for current prices, appointment availability, any income or residency rules, and which animals they see. Ask what to bring.

If cost is the barrier, Paying for Care compares grants, payment plans and fundraising, and a free funding plan puts them together for your pet.
