Lending A Paw
Welcome
Think of us as your friendly neighborhood team, always ready to lend a hand (or a paw) to support our community of pet parents. Through events, education, and financial assistance, we aim to make responsible pet ownership more affordable and less stressful. After all, pets may not be our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.

Paws Protected, Hearts Connected

Our Mission
Lending a Paw is dedicated to alleviating the financial barriers faced by pet owners in Richmond, Virginia, by providing compassionate assistance with veterinary care. Our mission is to ensure that no pet suffers due to their owner’s inability to afford necessary medical treatment, coupled with promoting the health and well-being of pets and strengthening the bond between animals and their families.
