Resources for the veterinary community to help animals in Washington State.

The Washington State Animal Health Foundation is the charitable arm of the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association. Your donations help fund veterinary care for low income families and provide grants for projects related to disaster relief.

Here’s how you can get involved

Vets Helping Pets Fund

Vets Helping Pets Veterinary Grants provide funds to supplement a veterinarian’s charitable care for animals of low-income families or families that are facing an undue financial burden.

Tax Deductible Donation

Since 1972, the WSAHF has proudly supported animal health and welfare in Washington State. Your contribution provide the veterinary community with resources to help animals.

Pet Memorial Cards

Remembering your client while they grieve the loss of a pet shows them that you care. The Pet Memorial Gift Program creates a sustainable legacy by providing funds to support the Foundation’s charitable activities.
