Mitzvah ~ a kindness or
worthy deed performed selflessly.
Veterinary professionals that are here to help our neighbors in need.
The Mitzvah Fund provides one-time, non-emergency (surgical, dental, diagnostic and/or )preventative care for one animal per household. The veterinary staff assists caring pet owners that are doing the best they can and are unable to afford the necessary medical care their pet needs. We have a sliding fee program, and we encourage Mitzvah Fund recipients to pay it forward with a donation which will help your animal or a neighbor's animal in need. What we do is all about supporting our entire village and community.
You will only be able to apply for assistance one time, unless special circumstances have been reviewed and approved by the Mitzvah Fund fiscal review board. Please connect with the Mitzvah Fund if you have accessed care with us previously before submitting a new application.
Please see our "Pet Care Services" information under our "Resources" tab if you need to connect with a low-income clinic to establish routine care.
Are you a low-income veteran, senior (age 55+) or disabled first responder? Are you currently unhoused and working with a case manager or shelter? If so, you may qualify for our services. Click the button below to find out more and fill out our application online.
The Mitzvah Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Central Vermont. We are a small but mighty group of veterinary professionals that strive to help the less fortunate by providing low-cost, compassionate veterinary care to qualified recipients.
We do all of our own veterinary work in our fully equipped Mobile Veterinary Surgical & Dental Clinic. We provide advanced anesthesia monitoring including ECG, Oxygen Saturation (SPO2), Doppler Blood Pressure, Capnography & Temperature. We can take full body or dental radiographs on board and will forward them to regular veterinarians and specialists for follow up care.
We want to support our neighbors facing economic hardship with quality compassionate care for their companion animals. Since 2012, we have assisted approximately 1000 animals in need of medical assistance.
