Patient Pet Advocates is a pet-focused community service that strives to help people struggling with profound, life-altering or terminal medical issues. Our services are tailored to the goal of supporting pets in their home environment, helping patients to plan for pet care in emergencies, and providing support in crisis situations. We also work to raise community awareness and provide tools and education for the prevention of illness-related animal neglect or abandonment. Patient Pet Advocates is a 501c(3) organization serving Eugene/Springfield Oregon and its surrounding areas.
Animals that come into care are placed with one of our foster volunteers. During their time with their foster they receive any necessary medical care and are allowed to adjust to the loss of their person. Available animals are posted on Petstablished as well as on our Facebook page. Submitting an application does not guarantee the placement of the pet with you. Applications will be screened to determine the best home for the animal. If you are found to be a good fit, you will be contacted for a meet and greet with the pet prior to completing the adoption process. All of our animals are fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and microchipped before adoption. We do ask for a donation for each adoption to help cover some of these costs. The suggested donation amount is listed on the pet’s profile page.
