Whoopi’s Fund for Special Needs

Give medical care to our most fragile animals

Inspired by the care we were able to provide to a beautiful black lab named Whoopi years ago, Whoopi’s Fund for Animals with Special Needs is a fund dedicated solely to providing extraordinary medical care to animals in need – treatments, testing and major surgeries that are beyond what many shelters can provide in-house.

In 2022, of the 1,155 animals housed in our facility, 25% of them benefited from our Whoopi’s Fund for Extraordinary Care; receiving surgery, medication, or therapy to improve their quality of life.

Thanks to a new partnership with Rainer Animal Fund, we’ll be able to help even more animals in 2023. The Rainer Animal Fund works in partnership with a larger network of veterinary professionals to provide essential veterinary care to families who cannot afford the full cost of treatment. Homeward Pet is proud to be one of the veterinary clinics able to provide care for Rainier clients.

Checking the box to make your gift monthly benefits our animals even more. We can invest our time into the animals behavioral and emotional needs knowing that their physical needs have been met by your kind generosity.
