Our MISSION
The mission of the Pet Patrol is to assist low-income individuals with chronic or life threatening illness, such as HIV/AIDS, to care for and keep their companion pets in order to ease loneliness, improve communication, improve physical and cognitive functioning, decrease stress and anxiety, improve body image (animals provide unconditional acceptance) and motivate clients to participate in their recovery, both physical and psychological.
Our services
The Pet Patrol provides wellness care for our member clients. Wellness includes an annual veterinary visit for vaccinations and exam, as well as a Heartworm test and monthly Heartworm prevention. Monthly food delivery and flea medication is also available when needed. We do not provide emergent care or heartworm treatment for heartworm positive pets.
Our philosophy
The Pet Patrol believes in the healing power of a companion animal.
