Stated Purpose:
To enhance and preserve the quality of life of companion animals by providing access to necessary medical care and education. We believe no family pet should be euthanized solely due to economic reasons!

Year, State Incorporated:
2006, CA

FACE’s Save A Life Program was created to address the tragedy of economic euthanasia. We financial support to low-income families, senior citizens, veterans, military families, people experiencing
homelessness, students, disabled individuals, and hard-working families who have exhausted all other options and are at risk of losing their beloved pet.

Established in 2006 by a group of veterinarians and concerned community members, the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) public charity that provides financial
grants for animal owners who are unable to afford the cost of their pet’s emergency or critical care.

We collaborate with veterinary hospitals and medical providers of all sizes to provide life-saving care for pets at risk of economic euthanasia.
