How it Works
Shakespeare Animal Fund can be contacted through our crisis hotline (775) 342-7040 or by email at help@safpet.org.
Once the SAF coordinator makes contact and determines the pet owner's eligibility, the pet owner is contacted and advised to select a veterinarian.
Once approved, SAF sends a letter to your vet detailing how much we will pay toward treatment. After the pet is seen, the owner signs a visit confirmation which is returned to SAF. We will pay your veterinarian directly to reduce your out of pocket costs.
We proudly serve Northern Nevada's 13 counties.
We help elderly, disabled and those whose total income does not exceed the current poverty guidelines.
