Providing Veterinary Care for Pets in Need
866/4HELPETS (866/443-5738)

  Welcome!  

As the benevolent arm of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the AAHA Foundation seeks to improve the lives of pets. Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, we offer grants for veterinary care of pets that have been abandoned and those whose owners are experiencing financial hardship. AAHA-accredited veterinary practices may apply for financial assistance on behalf of their clients in need.

There are many pets the AAHA Helping Pets Fund has helped. Read some personal stories below. See the Giving Options area to find out the many different ways that you can help someone's pet.
