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).

be reunited with their families.
