THE RESQ FUND

---

The ResQ Fund provides financial assistance for veterinary care for community-owned and rescue pets. The primary emphasis is on spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and aiding strays through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs.

The ResQ Fund is currently only available to pet owners living in the eight counties that make up the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia (Berkeley, Jefferson, Grant, Hardy, Morgan, Hampshire, Mineral, or Pendleton County) and to rescues that serve and help our area.

Once an application is reviewed, the ResQ Fund program manager will determine the amount of the grant for the applicant.  For spay and neuter, the applicant may be asked to contribute a portion of the cost or apply for coupons that may be available to them.  If funding is available through the WV Spay and Neuter Assistance program, the cost of spay/neuter and rabies vaccines will be covered through this program while funds last.

NOTE: We have a huge backlog of requests. Please be patient as we work to catch up. For local low-cost clinic options within 30-45 minutes of the eastern panhandle, please visit www.apromise.org, www.veterinarycommunityoutreach.com, or www.fiftyshadesoffurr.org. 

If you are a pet owner and would like to apply for financial assistance for spay and neuter services or to update vaccinations for your pets, please fill out an application using the link below. If you have questions, please contact us at theResQfund@gmail.com .  

We are also here to support rescues. Our funds can be used for spay and neuter or for other veterinary needs for rescues with whom we have a ResQ Partner agreement. If you are with a rescue and would like to be eligible for financial assistance and other benefits, please apply to be a ResQ Partner.
