“I was so lucky to have taken Nicole’s advice,” she said of the vet tech at Matawan Animal Hospital who told her about Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary’s Senior Pet Assistance Program. “This assistance means so much.”
The purpose of the program, launched in September by the Allentown-based nonprofit, is to provide financial assistance to qualified senior citizens, “making it possible to keep a senior dog in the home when financial challenges may otherwise make this too difficult,” according to the organization.
