About Us

Our Mission

At Parachutes for Pets, we are dedicated to protecting the human-animal bond, with a primary focus on pets. While we offer support to both people and their pets, our mission centers around building strong community systems to ensure pets remain cared for and connected to their families in times of need.

What We Offer

Parachutes for Pets is committed to assisting low income individuals work toward better health and welfare for their pets through accessible programs and resources.

 

Please note: We do not assist in new pet adoptions. We are happy to suggest strategies to plan for your new pet arrival, but as the owner, you need to be prepared for these expenses. (vaccines, spay/neuter, pet food costs, unexpected vet care, microchip, yearly check up, etc).

Safekeeping

Through our safekeeping program, animals are cared for at our facility while their families face

challenges such as medical emergencies, domestic violence, or periods of housing insecurity.

Pets in our care receive a safe place to stay, daily enrichment, and plenty of love until they can

be reunited with their families.
