House with a Heart Rescue Partner and Medical Grant Program
The 2026 HWAH Medical Grant program will run between March 1st and September 30th. *New for 2026, limit three grants per rescue.
The purpose of this program is to save more seriously senior (12 yrs+) and special needs dogs and cats.
We do this by supporting our rescue and sanctuary partners when they accept needy dogs and cats from owner give-ups and shelters.
Our support includes:

- Social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) posts about adoptable rescue partner pets
- Medical Grants of up to $1,000 per dog or cat
