They are offering:
– Free Pet Food Assistance
– Veterinary Care Financial Assistance
– Free Behavior Helpline Assistance

We’re here for you during this time.

We know that pet owners are concerned about COVID-19, and we want to ensure that Rhode Island pet owners have access to the supplies and services needed to keep their pets healthy as well as current information regarding their pet’s well-being. Thanks in part to a grant from The Humane Society of the United States to help keep people and their pets together during the COVID-19 crisis we will be able to continue to provide pet resources to our clients during these difficult times.

Our community is suffering right now and we’re doing everything possible to help.

We are offering:
– Free Pet Food Assistance
– Veterinary Care Financial Assistance
– Free Behavior Helpline Assistance
– Free Emergency Pet Boarding for those hospitalized due to COVID-19
