Before you call or visit.

Shelters, food programs, and clinics offer different kinds of help.

  1. Ask about your animal

    Confirm which species, sizes, and services the program handles. Ask about appointments and current capacity.

  2. Check cost and funding

    A low-cost clinic is not always free. Ask about fees, assistance requirements, and whether funding is currently available.

  3. Plan for the visit

    Ask what records, carrier, leash, or other supplies to bring. For a sick or injured pet, contact a veterinarian directly.
