Together we can end pet loss due to financial hardship.

Our mission is to end euthanasia due to financial hardship.

FACE (Foundation for Animal Care and Education) provides 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.
