Cissy -- Success Story
Paws In Need was contacted by the owner of sweet, tiny Cissy. She was feeling lethargic, likely dehydrated and while her owner was so worried, he did not have the funds to get her the vet care she needed. We were able to aid in some of the financing with an urgent care assistance grant and get little Cissy in to our friends at Doolittle Pet Hospital. Her bloodwork came out normal, owner says she’s finished the medications, is back to eating normally and is doing great. While one follow-up visit with the vet is likely, we were so happy to hear Cissy is feeling so much better.

Paws In Need was thrilled to receive a generous grant from the Rotarian Foundation of Livermore to help fund the
Low-Cost Spay & Neuter Program!
We are truly grateful for their commitment to supporting local nonprofit organizations and for believing in our mission to improve animal welfare in our local community!
Local nonprofits like Paws In Need serve as a critical safety net, reaching vulnerable populations who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
This grant will go a long way towards helping so many struggling pet owners afford essential and preventive veterinary care, allowing us to reach more individuals, assist more animals, and create a lasting, meaningful impact.
Also, as we celebrate National Pet Month, it serves as a reminder to slow down and appreciate the many ways pets enrich our lives every day. By strengthening our understanding, deepening our connections, and being more intentional with our care, we create happier healthier lives for the animals who mean so much to us!
Whether they're providing laughs with their "zoomies" or snuggling up to us when they sense we're sad, pets contribute so much love and benefit to their owner.
