Veterinary Assistance
Do you qualify for assistance?
Please note, Harley’s Hope programs are to assist domesticated animals only. As much as we love all animals, we are unable to take cases involving wildlife, feral cats, or dogs and cats who are allowed to roam unsupervised outdoors.
You are a good candidate if:
- You provide your pet with routine veterinary care.
- You obtain diagnosis, prognosis and estimate from your veterinarian (for General Veterinary Assistance only; not required for Older Pet Parent Services).
- You can provide proof of financial need.
- You have taken your pet to see a professional and have a written diagnosis - what is wrong with the pet.
- Your pet has received a survival prognosis of fair or better.
- Your pet has been a member of your household for a minimum of six weeks.
- You apply online.
You are NOT a good candidate if:
- Your pet has already been treated and you are looking for funds to repay a loan or credit card.
- Your pet has a chronic health condition that you cannot afford to treat once our assistance is exhausted. (This includes diabetes, Cushing’s disease, heart trouble, etc.)
- You have been convicted of animal abuse or neglect.
- Your pet has not been seen by a veterinarian in the last 24 months.
- You do not have a diagnosis, prognosis, and/or estimate for treatment from your veterinarian.
- Your pet’s prognosis for survival is guarded or poor.
- Your pet is over 1 year old and is not spayed nor neutered.
- The animal is not in your legal custody.
- You have not applied for Care Credit. If you applied and were declined, you will need to submit the declination notice or confirmation number.
