Share The Love: Sponsor A Pet In Need

Every pet deserves to feel loved and this February, you can make that happen! With your support, Plymouth Helping Hands for Animals can help local pets stay healthy, fed, and cared for by supporting the pet owners who rely on us.

 We’re excited to launch our Share The Love & Sponsor A Pet Fundraiser, which will run for the whole month of February.

This campaign focuses on something simple but powerful:
help local pets receive the food and medical care they need to stay healthy and at home with their loving owners.

Share The Love & Sponsor A Pet

This February, our goal is to sponsor 100 local pets! 

 When you sponsor a pet, you’re providing essential care right away, whether that’s a bag of food or treats for comfort, a wellness exam or vaccines, or even urgent medical attention. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference for a pet in need.

Your support fuels our three local pet food pantries, each serving 30–40 pet owners and reaching roughly 30–80 pets per visit. Altogether, these pantries provide food and essentials to over 200 pets per month across Plymouth! Many of these pets and their owners rely on the pantries regularly, so your donation helps provide ongoing, dependable care—keeping bowls full and ensuring no pet goes without.

Through our Veterinary Medical Assistance Program, your sponsorship also helps cover essential care such as wellness exams, vaccines and diagnostic testing, spay and neuter surgeries, prescription medications, urgent, emergency and critical care veterinary visits, and compassionate euthanasia. We receive calls every day and work to help as many pets as possible.

With your support, we can reach our goal of sponsoring 100 pets and make an immediate difference for pets and pet owners in our community!
