This experience meant everything to me and my family. Coco had to undergo a fracture repair, and while it was such a scary time, she is now doing well and I'm so excited to see her continue to recover and heal. Helping Paws Foundation truly changed everything for us. As a military family, unexpected medical costs can be overwhelming, and their financial assistance made it possible for Coco to receive the care she needed. What they do to help families stay together with their pets during difficult times is incredibly special and deeply appreciated. Dr. Souther provided amazing care and gave me so much confidence throughout the process. Christina, the executive director, was so gentle and attentive, and it was clear how much she truly cared. I will always be thankful for the compassion, support, and kindness we were shown. Coco is healing, and that means the world to us. read more

I am beyond thankful for the Helping Paws Foundation! This month, our dog unfortunately ate an item that became lodged in her intestine. I found out about the Helping Paws Foundation during that emergency, and they have been an absolute Godsend! I am forever grateful for the work they do helping veterans like myself. As a single parent, an unexpected veterinary emergency is catastrophic, but having to choose between life and death because of financial constraints is one of the worst feelings in the world. I truly believe this organization was used by God to help keep our pup alive. I will forever be grateful. Thank you all so much. You are truly saving lives! read more

My Name is Albert and I am a U.S. Army Veteran that was in Desperate need of help for my Frenchie Toro. I had been treating my Frenchie for a Sarcoma like Cancer that had returned immediately after having another Vet remove an Ulcer like growth. Unfortunately, once it returned I had no idea or money for another solution. I had already spent hundreds of dollars and had no other financial way to help him. I somehow came across the Helpingpawssandiego.org and emailed them for any help I could get. They quickly responded to my email, asked for some basic information and then set up an appointment with a Veterinarian of their choice. I went to the appointment and met such an amazing team that saw the desperation in my eyes. I had no financial means to help my Toro and they made sure to tell me that they would find a way to help me. Unfortunately due to the severity of my Toros Cancer, I made the Difficult decision to let him cross the rainbow bridge. The team assured me that they would not be leaving me with a massive bill, instead they helped sponsor my Toros care. I cannot tell you how Thankful I am for this organization. If you or anybody you know is a Veteran and is in need of assistance due to financial hardship, please reach out to Helpingpawssandiego.org I will forever be grateful for what they did to help me get through this incredibly difficult time. I will also be donating to Helpingpaws, to help pay it forward for another Veteran that will be in need. read more

I can't be more thankful with this foundation. Honestly I didn't know where to go and ask for help for my dog since he needed an exploratory surgery to get a foreign object remove and he had prostate issues as well. I exhausted all the money I had in my bank account trying to get my dog better but I wasn't going to be able to pay for the surgery. I contacted helping paws and Janet got ahold of me within 30 minutes. Helping paws covered the whole estimate and thanks to them my dog Koba is getting better. He is my emotional support dog and I love him. Thank you Janet and helping paws !!!!!! read more

As a Veteran of the U.S. Navy & Marine Corps, my family contacted these awesome people at Helping Paws and they provided gentle care for my service dog Papi. Papi stayed with me by my bed at night, one eye open for me so I could rest. Papi got very sick but the great Doctors at Helping Paws brought him back to us in good shape and we got two more good years with our beloved Papi. He had to have many tests often, and expensive medications we could never afford on my pension, but Helping Paws was there all the way. They took such good care of my little buddy. I lost Papi in August. He fought a tough battle but he couldn't make the mission anymore. Now, almost three months later, I have to type through tears as I write this. I do though, so you will know not only how much Papi meant to me and my family, but more so, so that you will know just to what level they will go to to help Veterans and their pets. Dr. Craig Mohnacky and his team of fine Doctors & Staff are simply awesome. It's true. We know first hand. Helping Paws "Serving Those Who Have Served Us So Proudly" ! Thank you Helping Paws and God Bless !!! read more
