Help Give a Pet Another Chance

Sometimes, a pet has a good prognosis and a path forward, but the unexpected cost of emergency treatment creates a barrier for their family. Our Kisses Fund helps us bridge that gap.

Through our partnership with the myBalto Foundation, community donations can help support veterinary treatment for eligible patients whose families are experiencing financial hardship. Every contribution helps us extend care when it can make a meaningful difference.
