Tina Helping Paw

Our Helping Paw program assists seniors, hospice patients and other pet guardians facing challenging times in keeping their beloved dogs and cats, and provides a bridge to help them stay together as long as possible.

When people are physically or financially unable to care for their pets, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue would like to lend a helping paw.

Our Helping Paw program provides volunteer assistance and financial assistance. The financial assistance program is generously funded, in part, by a grant from Animal Welfare and Assistance Group.

Pet Food Assistance

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that many members of our community are struggling to provide pet food for their dogs and cats. If you need assistance providing pet food for your pet, email us.


Helping Paw Financial Assistance

Geography: Monterey County residents mainly. Limited funding for Santa Cruz and San Benito County Residents.
Income: You must be receiving social security or disability, or be unemployed, or earn an income at or below poverty level to qualify for financial assistance.
We cover: Urgent medical needs that will alleviate an animal's suffering. We cover expenses for cats and dogs.
We do not cover: Microchipping, routine exams, routine dentals. (We can provide flea treatment when available. We can mail it to you or arrange pick up.)
Maximum assistance: $500
Exam and estimate: It is best if your pet has had an exam and you can provide us with an estimate for care needed. In some circumstances, we can cover the cost of the exam.
Annual grants: Our financial assistance is meant to be a one-time safety net during difficult times with a limit of assistance once per year.

We work closely with Max's Helping Paws Foundation and Birchbark Foundation. You do not need to fill out an application for each program. We can share your application with other organizations that can help.
