Money is low, and a disaster strikes. A member of our family is ill and needs help. Sadly, many of us are faced with taking care of our pet or paying the bills. As pet care continues to rise, it becomes more and more difficult to pay common veterinarian rates. How can we choose between veterinary care for our pet and electricity?
Fortunately, there are still many compassionate people in the world! These people help us on low incomes feed our pets, vaccinate them, and relieve their suffering. Taylor, MI, and surrounding areas have many organizations and services that are there to help!
