Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise in requests for veterinary care assistance. We hear of approximately 20 cases a week where low income pet owners need help accessing medical care for their dog or cat. Each case is as unique as the pet owner and pet.
It takes a village to raise funds for large surgery bill. We work with local veterinarians and other pet charities to assist the owner get the medical care their beloved pet needs. By leveraging our available funds, we can help more pets receive critically needed veterinary care.
Please join us by donating what you can. We rely 100% on donated funds.

Who we have Helped
Cooper
Cooper
Cooper
Cooper had a fatty tumor the size of a grapefruit on his underbelly. He also had quite a few rotten teeth that needed to be removed.
We worked with Dr. Mike Raposo and his team at Shores Animal Clinic. They removed the tumor and bad teeth. Cooper is much more comfortable and back home with his grateful owner.
Dude
Cooper
Cooper
This three year old pit bull swallowed a tennis ball during an innocent game of fetch. The ball became stuck in his esophagus. He needed life saving stomach surgery to remove the ball. The owner was unable to pay for surgery. We worked with Jupiter Pet Emergency and Specialty Center to make sure Dude could return home to his grateful Dad.
Tiny
Cooper
Cisco
She is a Miniature Doberman Pincher who wiggled out of her mom’s arms and fell and broke her elbow. Five, yes five, pet non-profits (including Passion for Paws) came together to subsidize her $3,100 surgery. Eco Deco Pet Hospital coordinated the successful surgery. Thanks Safe a Pet, Mosby Foundation, Homeless Pet Foundation, Frankie and Friends Foundation.

Little Ball of Fur

Unfortunately, this senior four-pound poodle, he suffers from congestive heart failure requiring monthly full work ups (EKG, blood test and x rays). It is important that Cisco is comfortable in his golden years. Poor Cisco was abandoned on a balcony when his owner was incarcerated. It was determined that he had never received vet care.

Little Ball of Fur
Little Ball of Fur, a large male cat, had a urinary blockage and was doing badly. He needed a catheter and hospitalization for several days. His owner is low income and could not afford the veterinary bill on his own. Veterinary care was provided at Paws2Help Vet Hospital. He is doing fine now but without vet care he would not have made it.
Sweetie Pie
Little Ball of Fur
Little Ball of Fur
Sweetie Pie is a tame cat that was abandoned on the streets. Some cruel person threw motor oil on him. He lost his multi-colored coat. The hair follicles were damaged, so it doesn’t look like his fur will be growing back. He and other rescued senior cats are now residing in the new Passion for Paws Old Cat Sanctuary. They now receive good care and have plenty of free roaming space.
Cemi
Cookie
Cemi
Cemi, an adorable eight year old Maltese - poodle mix, and her owner came to us when Cemi was in desperate need of life saving gall bladder surgery.

We worked with RedRover Relief to cover the costs of the surgery.
Rudy
