BirchBark

Mission

BirchBark protects and honors the human-animal bond by financially aiding low-income pet guardians who cannot afford emergency vet care, and by supporting all families with education and pet loss counseling programs.

The Big Idea

Imagine a world where no pet is lost due to financial hardship. BirchBark is dedicated to making this vision a reality by providing emergency veterinary care and support services to pet owners in need. Each donation directly funds life-saving treatments for pets whose families cannot afford the cost, ensuring that beloved companions remain with their families where they belong. Additionally, BirchBark offers grief support and educational resources, creating a compassionate community that values the human-animal bond.

By contributing to BirchBark, you are not only saving the lives of pets but also supporting the emotional well-being of their owners. Your generosity helps maintain the vital connection between people and their pets, promoting responsible pet ownership and fostering a caring, inclusive community. Join us in our mission to ensure that financial constraints never stand in the way of a pet receiving the care they deserve. Together, let's save lives and strengthen families.

Our beloved pet cat was recently hit by a car and seriously injured. His vet bill was well over $5,000, which we could not afford by ourselves. Thanks to BirchBark, his two broken legs are healing nicely. Although his tail had to be amputated, our cat is alive and happy, and it’s all thanks to BirchBark and one of their partner vets, VCA All Pets Animal Hospital Salinas. He really means the world to us, and we are so grateful he is getting back to his normal happy self.
