Senior Pet Assistance Program
We understand that a dog provides unwavering comfort and companionship, especially for senior citizens who are often alone later in life. But what if financial constraints are making it seem impossible to keep your dog, yet the thought of relinquishing your pet is even more unthinkable?
The purpose of our Senior Pet Assistance Program is to provide financial assistance to qualified senior citizens, making it possible to keep a senior dog in your home when financial challenges may otherwise make this too difficult.
Our plan provides sustained support and includes:
- Veterinarian visits for:
-
- wellness blood screening
- core vaccines
- heartworm/tick testing
- intestinal parasite screening
- Food & medications
- Medical Grooming
- Dental care
- Specialty care will be considered on an individual basis
We are currently supporting senior citizens living in Monmouth, Mercer and Middlesex Counties.
For more information, please contact us at info@martysplace.org or 609.259.1278. A team member will review the application process and program requirements with you. Our goal is to keep you and your dog happily together. We know they are part of your family, and we want to help ensure your bond is not broken.
