Meet Me at the Bridge Fund

Application Information & Requirements

Meet Me at the
Bridge Fund

The Meet Me at the Bridge Fund provides financial assistance for senior dogs and cats needing euthanasia, when their quality of life has significantly diminished due to illness or injury, resulting in a loss of dignity. This will be determined by the pet parent and participating veterinarian.

We understand the importance of kindness during this difficult time and we don’t want financial hardship to be a barrier when the moment comes to usher your beloved senior dog or cat across the bridge.

I will ask Soccer Pants to meet your kiddo on the other side and show them the ropes. Big hugs to you if you’re applying to this program. XOXO.
