How to reach them

Where: Texas residents (Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital)

Good to know

  • Who can use it: Texas residents with demonstrated financial need who can make a financial contribution toward the animal's care, have a strong bond with the pet, can provide follow-up care and two forms of ID, and are enrolled in SNAP, WIC, a qualified housing authority program, Texas Medicaid or CHIP, or referred from established VMBS programs. Dogs and cats only, for a one-time surgery with a good prognosis; a list of soft-tissue procedures is on the page. Orthopedic and neurology procedures (such as TPLO or IVDD) are not covered, nor is routine spay/neuter alone. Funding is subject to available funds, limited to one funded surgery per pet, and decided by an advisory group.
  • How to get started: Fill out and submit the application form on the program page. If the form is hard to use with assistive technology, call the number listed on the page. A referring veterinarian can contact the program with the pet's medical record if the needed procedure is not on the list.
