Keeping Pets with Their Families: Owner Surrender Prevention Program

Ruff Start Rescue’s Owner Surrender Prevention Program provides veterinary care grants to help families cover unexpected medical expenses for their pets. When emergencies arise—such as illness, injury, or sudden health needs—these grants give owners the support they need to keep their beloved animals healthy and at home. By removing financial barriers to urgent veterinary care, Ruff Start Rescue prevents unnecessary surrenders and ensures pets remain with the people who love them most.
