PAWs Project
Lost Pet Services, Inc. and Whiskers and Wags, dedicated animal welfare non-profits, are joining forces for a groundbreaking collaboration with the help of the Veterinary Medical Center of LWR, the sole provider of 24/7 365 emergency medical services in Manatee and Sarasota counties.
This collaborative effort aims to expand access to critical veterinary medical funding assistance for pet owners in need and increase awareness of financial challenges faced by those seeking medical help for their pets.
​
The Veterinary Medical Center of LWR recognizes the crucial need for financial assistance when families are faced with unexpected and life-threatening medical emergencies for their pets. They are proud to work with 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
Together, we are poised to make a significant impact on the lives of pets and families, ensuring that no pet is left without lifesaving care due to financial limitations. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to animal welfare, community well-being, and the preservation of the human-animal bond.
