Pet Retention
The primary goal of our pet retention program is to support pet owners in maintaining their pets, thereby reducing the number of animals entering shelters and enhancing the well-being of both pets and their families.
This program is open to Miami-Dade, income qualified residents.
Our Commitment to the Human-Animal Bond
We are dedicated to ensuring that everyone can experience the joy, comfort, and positive impact of the bond between humans and animals. Through the MVF Pet Retention Program, we support pet owners by providing vital resources and assistance to help them keep their cherished pets, preventing the need for surrender or abandonment due to financial or other challenges.
Expaniding Our Reach Across Miami-Dade County
While our Pets for Life program serves only five zip codes, the MVF Pet Retention Program reaches out to all other areas within Miami-Dade County. When funding allows, we connect pet owners in need to our network of clinics, and work together with their owners to cover a portion of the veterinary bill. Our support is based on a collaborative effort, requiring owners to contribute as well.
