ABOUT THE CAUSE

The Crisis of Economic Euthanasia

Every day, beloved pets are euthanized not because they can’t be treated, but because their families simply cannot afford the cost of care. Rising costs are making veterinary services increasingly inaccessible for many pet families. In the past ten years, the inflation rate for veterinary services has increased at twice the rate of the consumer price index.

An estimated 500,000 animals fall victim to economic euthanasia each year – a tragic situation where treatable medical conditions become death sentences due to financial constraints.

The Petworking Angel Fund has been established to create a financial safety net for pet owners facing impossible choices. We partner with shelters and veterinary clinics to help pets and pet families confronted with an unexpected veterinary emergency where they cannot afford treatment.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

When a family is forced to choose between paying rent or saving their pet’s life, everyone suffers – the family loses a beloved companion, veterinarians face moral distress, and a treatable animal loses their chance at life. Together, we can prevent these heartbreaking situations and keep families whole.
