VolunteerOur Mission
Providing peace of mind and temporary care for pets of people facing medical illness — temporarily caring for pets like family while their people are sick.
"Surrendering a companion to a shelter during a medical crisis often means never seeing them again — not knowing where they went, who has them, or if they are still alive."
For a pet owner facing hospitalization, the options without Wags & Whiskers are devastating: surrender their companion to a shelter and lose them forever, or delay or refuse their own medical treatment because they cannot bear to be separated. We bridge that gap — providing loving, temporary care for companion animals so their owners can focus on getting well, knowing their family member is safe and waiting for them.
Neither option is acceptable. That is why we exist.
"When it comes to healing, pets may be the best medicine."
Getting Started is Easy
Three Simple Steps
Bridging the Gap
No one should have to choose between their health and their pet.
Complete the Pet Care Application
Tell us about your pet so we can determine whether it meets WagsCare's temporary boarding requirements.
Complete the Financial Assistance Application
Tell us about your temporary medical need and financial circumstances to determine your eligibility for assistance.
Application Review
Once both applications have been completed and all required supporting documentation has been securely submitted to [email protected]Secure and received by WagsCare, we will carefully review your request and notify you of our decision as promptly as possible.
Both the pet and the pet owner must independently qualify before assistance can be approved.
Need Help?
If you have questions, we're here to help. Please contact WagsCare at [email protected]Secure.
We'll be happy to answer your questions, provide guidance, and help you through the process.
WHAT IF IT WERE SOMEONE YOU LOVE?
A friend, family member, coworker or neighbor needs medical care — but has no one to care for their beloved pet and can't afford temporary boarding.
Do they delay treatment or surrender the pet they love? There is another choice.
Your donation helps bridge the gap and fund temporary boarding at WagsCare's qualified Preferred Boarding Partners giving pet owners peace of mind while they recover, knowing their pet will come home when recovery is complete.
Every gift matters. 100% of your donation goes directly toward temporary pet boarding.
