Established since 2010 & Open to Older Adults in Greater New York Area When Eligible

When an older person’s beloved pet is their only family, and sole source of affection and comfort, keeping them together is so important.:

Pets and Elders Together: PET’s goal is to support the companion animals of our clients so that they age in place alongside their guardians. We help clients establish an Advance Pet Plan with a “alert” wallet card, to help keep beloved pets in homes and out of the shelter system.

Hybrid workshops are held throughout the year for both dog and cat owners, helping us to learn how to be better pet parents, with guidance from behaviorists, trainers, veterinarians and groomers. We have a large net of referral organizations, from PAWS NY for volunteer hands-on pet help to a variety of local veterinarians and groomers, including the ASPCA.

Based on financial need we may provide stipends to individual clients to help cover or defray the cost of pet food, supplies, grooming, transportation and vet care.
