Make a Difference for a Furry Friend!
Who We Are
Pay It Forward For Pets helps improve the lives of both people and “rescued” pets through special programs.
Our organization manages 6 programs that directly benefit the public and offers human resources and funding to county shelters and local rescue organizations in collaboration efforts to expedite adoptions and end euthanasia.
Pay It Forward For Pets is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and secures 100% funding from direct public support, grants, fundraising and planned estate giving.
Our Programs
Shelter Pet Photography
High-quality photography has proven to increase adoptions by 30% immediately following program implementation. Pets are photographed by a trained photographer weekly and uploaded to pet adoption web sites within 24 hours.
Senior Pets for Senior Citizens
We fund the adoption fee of senior pets being adopted by a person 55 years and older. The benefits are impressive for both the senior and senior pet.
Canine Behavioral Assessment & Enrichment
Many dogs do not reveal their true personalities when they are stressed-out in a shelter environment. In an effort to reduce the possibility of euthanasia, a behavioral assessment is performed when a dog displays behaviors of concern.
Pets For Vets – No Buddy Left Behind
We fund and manage the complex logistics to bring a pet back to the USA that served as a family member to a soldier while overseas. We also fund the pet adoption for vets that have served our country.
Critical Care Assistance Fund
We provide funding for the critical care of a beloved pet and spay / neuter assistance. We assess clients on a case-by-case basis and determine if applicants meet the strict qualifiers for assistance with lifesaving and pain alleviating treatments.
Humane Education Curriculum
We teach humane education, compassion for animals and promote adoption of rescued pets to youth in a classroom environment and at public forums.
