MISSION: Provides financial assistance to pet owners to save their severely ill or injured pets by providing a lifeline to offset costs of unexpected but necessary medical care. Eligible and approved pet owners will receive a one-time grant of up to one-half of veterinary care costs up to a maximum grant of $1,500. The level of assistance provided depends upon a number of factors including the type of illness/injury, the course of action needed and the funds available at the time of the request. At no time does Max’s Helping Paws cover the cost of the entire procedure.
