Description
The PAW Team provides veterinary care to the pets of people with income at or below the federal poverty line, or with no income at all. Additionally, all pets they serve must be spayed or neutered; PAW will spay and neuter pets for free. Services provided are vaccinations, flea and worm medications, prescriptions, food, pet licensing fees, microchipping, medical grooming, and major surgeries. Weekday clinic appointments are available by calling, and there are drop-in weekend clinics several times per year. PAW asks for a $5 co-pay but will not turn anyone away for inability to pay.
There are two ways to qualify or re-qualify as a PAW Team client:
- Clients must bring a photo ID and proof of any income, including public assistance such as Social Security or TANF. If a client has no income, but a recent bank statement, bring that. If no income and no bank statement, bring only a photo ID. The PAW team will ask the client additional questions about their financial situation.
- Referral system for social service organizations. If you have questions or are seeking assistance on a client’s behalf, please email them directly at info@pawteam.org . In your email, be sure to include the organization you are working for, your client’s name, and information about the service(s) your client is seeking.
Tuesday through Thursday 10 a.m.–3 p.m. - Open for qualification interviews & pet supplies p.m.
Veterinary visits are offered by appointment only. To schedule call
