Rochester Hope For Pets believes no one should have to lose a beloved pet simply because they lack the ability to pay. We help local families afford life-saving procedures by funding grants and offering financial assistance when it’s needed most.

There are many ways to support Rochester Hope For Pets! The most common way is to make a monetary donation which directly helps us help pets and families in need.

We also always appreciate spreading the word via a review, name drop, or follow/share on social!

Our small team handles most of our day-to-day operations but sometimes we do need help with larger events and fundraising. Send us an email at info@rochesterhopeforpets.org if you’re interested in getting involved!

Everything you need to know about applying with Rochester Hope For Pets is on our application page! 

We try to respond to inquiries as soon as possible, especially in emergency situations, however, it may take us up to 48 hours to make a decision. Approved or denied, you WILL hear from us via email regarding your application!

Depending on which veterinary hospital you are a patient at, we will either pay the hospital directly upon completion of the procedure or release funds to the hospital which they will use to pay your bill. 

If you have already paid in full yourself, we will issue a check to you for reimbursement in the amount of your award.

Each application we receive is reviewed by our board and given consideration based on the funds we have available and the prognosis for the pet.

All donations go towards helping Rochester area families and pets in need! This could include the cost of life-saving surgery, diagnostic testing, or post-surgery healing (among many other things!)Our goal is to help families who can’t afford the cost of unexpected or emergency pet care. To see your donations in action, check out our blog!

Absolutely! A recurring donation is one of the best ways to ensure families and pets in need get the care they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford. 

Just select your desired donation amount and then “monthly donation”. Funds will be withdrawn automatically each month and you will receive a receipt of payment that’s tax deductible!

Nope! Donate as much as you feel comfortable. Any amount is better than no amount at all!

Right now, we are only accepting monetary donations. If you’d like to donate pet supplies or other items, please see our list of local rescues that would definitely appreciate your support!
