At the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire, we know that your pet is a part of your family. We also know that caring for that family member can be expensive and difficult when you fall on hard times. Our Companion Animal Assistance Fund (CAAF) is designed to help keep pets in loving homes by assisting owners with an unexpected medical expense that is more than they can afford.

 

The Companion Animal Assistance Fund does not receive any state or federal funding. Because of this, funds are limited and we ask that you only apply if you truly can not afford the care your pet needs. The Companion Animal Assistance Fund utilizes vetbilling.com to offer interest-free payments. This program does not rely on credit scores.

 

Please review the qualifications below before applying:

• Applicants must be residents of the state of New Hampshire.

• Medical care must be upcoming, we do not reimburse for bills that have already been paid.

• We are unable to assist with emergency cases due to the application process. Please do not withhold emergency veterinary care while waiting for a response. 

• The Companion Animal Assistance Fund is unable to assist with euthanasia or end-of-life care. If you need low-cost euthanasia services please contact the shelter directly. 

• The Companion Animal Assistance Fund does not cover the cost of preventative care due to the large number of low-cost options in the area. If you need assistance with finding low-cost preventative care please contact the shelter directly. 

• Completing the application does not guarantee assistance.
