Helping Paws
Helping Paws helps keeps military families united with their pets by providing low and no-cost veterinary care for troops and veterans in need. Without our 501(c)(3), a lot of veterans would face the heartbreaking decision of premature relinquishment, or worse yet, economic euthanasia.

Luna is home!
This 8-year-old girl came to us in crisis; rushed in with pyometra, a severe and potentially fatal infection that required emergency surgery to survive. Her owner, a Marine Corps Veteran, couldn't afford the care she desperately needed. When he reached out, he didn't talk about himself. He talked about Luna. About how she's been by his side through everything.
Today, Luna is home recovering with the person who loves her most because donors like you made it possible.
Her surgery bill is $3,101.85. So far, our community has raised $665 toward that goal. We're not done yet and here's the good news: Dr. Craig Mohnacky is personally matching every dollar donated, up to $20,000. Your gift today goes twice as far!
At Helping Paws Foundation, we believe caring for a Veteran's pet is caring for the Veteran. Luna is more than a dog; she is comfort, stability, and family.
Help us close the gap for Luna and for every Veteran who needs us next.

This Memorial Day, we remember. We honor the brave men and women who gave everything so that we could have everything. Their sacrifice is immeasurable, and their memory is eternal.
At Helping Paws Foundation, we carry that spirit of service into our work every single day. The Veterans and military families we serve have already given so much. We believe they should never have to choose between their own financial struggles and the health of the beloved pets who bring them comfort, companionship, and joy.
To every Gold Star family, to every Veteran, to every service member who never made it home, thank you. We will never forget.
