Program areas at Paw Fund
Medical serivices: we provide free and low cost wellness veterinary services to low income and no income pet owners in the east bay, covering two counties, alameda and contra costa. Occasionally we are able to assist with life saving emergency medical care.
Spay & neutering services: our spay and neuter program provided funding for over 600 surgeries in 2019, and our whole program provided wellness services to over 3500 pets.
Vaccine clinics: vaccines, de-wormers, flea control, and microchips are provided at all events, and animals are signed up for free or pay-what-you-can spay or neuter surgeries through our partner vets across the region.
Foster & adoption services, owner surrender and rehoming, client outreach & transportation: many of our clients struggle economically and many lose their housing. Having to give up the family pet is a heartbreaking consequence. Our program provides a safe place for their pets to go, instead of an animal shelter, and new longterm homes are found. Through careful screening of adopters we fostered then adopted over 100 animals in 2023.

Client outreach & education: we arrange weekly outreach events to high risk neighborhoods, homeless encampments and assisted living residences. These outreach events reach hundreds of pets whose owners are unable to travel.
