LifelineAbout the Lifeline Program
We see special needs animals every day.  Dogs and cats who need special care from special adopters:

  • Some will need special diets or daily medications for life
  • Others might need orthopedic care now, or down the line
  • Some might need more veterinary visits than the average pet
  • Many will just need a quiet retirement home for a last comfortable year.
  • All of them need a Lifeline, an adopter willing to commit a little extra to save a life.

Will you join the lifeline and adopt a less than perfect pet?  It won’t be cheap, or even easy, but it will be worth it.

Partial funding for special needs animals provided by the Doris Day Animal Foundation, in honor of Duffy Day, loving companion to Doris and NHS alum.
