We will send you updates from your paired pet and other animals that are being helped, the animal you support is representative of the hundreds of cats and dogs around the world who are in need of care. Your support will fund vital work around the world, sending vets and veterinary supplies to where they are needed most and providing training around the world to improve care in the future, so that all animals receive the care they deserve.

What work am I supporting through Pair My Pet?
