Emergency Assistance  

Tail Wagger’s has established a name for itself in the community by Helping People Help Animals. What does this mean?

Tail Wagger’s has established the Emergency Assistance Program – Jean’s Dream – which provides financial assistance to families who are in need when a their pet is in a crisis. Our goal is to work with families to off-set some of their medical costs or pay for services so that euthanasia can be avoided.

More times than not, euthanasia occurs because there isn’t "insurance" for animals, qualifying for Care Credit is not an option and payment programs are non-existant.  Pet owners should NEVER be put in this situation and Tail Wagger's can help!

All requests for Emergency Assistance are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and communication with the providing veterinarian is necessary. Decisions are made based on (most importantly) quality of life for the animal, funding, and the owners' ability to continue follow-up care.  At times, a referral to a Tail Wagger’s supporting veterinarian is recommended for a second opinion.

All pet owners MUST agree to spaying/neutering (upon doctor good-health approval) prior to services being provided by Tail Wagger’s.

The Emergency Assistance Program is the MOST IMPORTANT program and FUNDING is necessary for it to survive. Emergency assistance can ONLY be given if FUNDING is available.  Emergency assistance normally cost more than just a routine appointment so ANY donations made on behalf of this program are appreciated!
