PETS Network Requirements

🚨 Policy Update – Effective July 1, 2026

Beginning July 1, 2026, pets must be at least 6 months old and already spayed or neutered in order to participate in any of our outreach programs that include pet food assistance, vaccine clinics and emergency foster program. Sign-ups for vaccine clinics will be limited to pets that meet these requirements. If your pet is not yet spayed or neutered and you would like assistance getting them fixed, please contact our team for available resources and support.
Program Participant Requirements
To ensure the best possible care for your pet, we have a few program requirements:

  • The program is 30 days only and is designed as a short-term solution.
  • Participants must be working with a human service agency to qualify.
  • A lease proving residency or proof of current residency within 30 days of entering the program is required.
  • Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered. If they are not, we will provide these services at no charge.
  • A compatible foster must be available to care for your pet.

A full description of the program requirements can be found here HERE, and our P.E.T.S. Network Guidelines found HERE. 

Please Note:

  • We are unable to provide temporary care for reasons relating to personal choice such as relocating for work, travel, pet restrictions in current rental, awaiting closing on a house, pregnancy of pet-parent, etc.
  • Program acceptance is not guaranteed, even if you qualify for all the requirements listed above, due to space limitations and number of available fosters.
