""It was super serious because that couldn't just go to a general doctor," said Lisa Williams, the organization's co-founder, president and medical programs director. "It had to go to a specialist.""
""Just because you're financially challenged doesn't mean you're not a loving home for a pet - both can be true," said Williams. "There needed to be a low-cost option so that more cats and more dogs, females and males both, would be fixed so that the litters would subside.""
Paws In Need is a San Ramon–based nonprofit that provides financial assistance to dog and cat owners in the Tri-Valley for veterinary care and spay/neuter procedures. The organization prioritizes preventing shelter overcrowding and unnecessary euthanasia by funding low-cost options so more pets are fixed. The all-volunteer group fields daily calls and issues small grants for routine surgeries and emergency specialist care when needed. Since 2013, Paws In Need has helped over 8,000 animals and averages assistance for nearly 90 animals per month, primarily serving Dublin, San Ramon, Pleasanton, and Livermore.
