Financial Aid for Pets

Giv­ing what your pet dog (or cat) needs can be chal­leng­ing right now.  Times are tough these days and when I saw this list I received from another trainer, I just had to share it.  I have added sev­eral other orga­ni­za­tions and ask if you have any to add, let me know.  Remem­ber to check with your local ani­mal shel­ter and res­cues as well because they almost always work with a vet­eri­nar­ian for ser­vices such as low cost spay/neuter and vaccinations.
