Support Options Solutions for Keeping Animals Out of Shelters

The number of animals who are surrendered to shelters by loving and responsible owners who are in crisis is a community challenge. Shelter space ideally should be saved for homeless pets who truly have no other options. NKPC provides support for local families with temporary, short term, low cost services that will keep a pet in their own loving home. In addition, NKPC provides support for community cat caregivers seeking veterinary assistance. NKPC also maintains the S.O.S. Online Resource Directory, a current list of low cost or free resources for pet owners in Pima County.

SOS RESOURCE DIRECTORY

And GOOD NEWS in '22! NKPC received a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization to support senior dogs and their owners when unexpected veterinary needs arise.

Lost Pets Initiative

NKPC provides education and services to prevent pets from getting lost and to assure lost pets are reuntied with their owner as soon as possible. The initiative includes monthly free or low cost microchip events around the county, online guidelines for lost and found pets, and direct support to those who've lost their pets.

savethesaveable.com is bringing attention to some of the most vulnerable animals at our local shelters and rescue organizations.
