The Mitzvah Fund, Inc

The Mitzvah Fund, Inc We offer veterinary surgery and dentistry to low income seniors, veterans & disabled first responders A Mitzvah is a kindness or a worthy deed. Done selflessly.

The Mitzvah Fund started in 2006 and became a 501 C3 in 2014. We are a small but mighty group of mostly volunteer veterinary professionals that strive to help the less fortunate. Owning a pet should not have to be a luxury but in today's economy even basic veterinary care can be daunting, especially to senior citizens on fixed incomes. We have helped hundreds of animals. As of February 2022 we hav

e a fully equipped mobile veterinary surgery and dentistry unit based out of Montpelier, VT. On Fridays we see scheduled appointments in downtown Montpelier in front of city hall. We do surgery two days a week out of our home base in East Montpelier. We also try to help rescue organizations that are trying to care for and rehome special needs animals. However, we do not pay other animal hospitals to do work for patients under our care. We currently service only Central Vermont citizens but hope to expand in the future. We will be shvitzing Mitzvahs all over VT in the very near future!

🐾 Tonight, the Mitzvah Fund was proud to host a hybrid training with Emily Lewis, a certified Dog Behavior Consultant with Vermont Dog Behavior, on defensive handling of fractious and fearful dogs.

This session brings together veterinary and first responder professionals to strengthen best practices in safely managing the behaviors most often encountered when caring for sick, injured, or abused animals. By focusing on defensive handling, participants gain skills that reduce risk while improving compassionate outcomes for animals in crisis.

The Mitzvah Fund’s mission is to provide free, compassionate veterinary care to pets whose owners face financial hardship. Learn more at: www.themitzvahfund.org

Vermont Dog Behavior is dedicated to improving the lives of dogs and their families through education, training, and behavior support. Learn more at: www.vtdogbehavior.com

Together, we are working to keep both animals and professionals safer while strengthening care for our most vulnerable companions. 🐕💙

🐶 Unleashed & Paw‑fect: Mitzvah at Lawson’s Finest Bark Park! 🐾

We had a pawsome time celebrating the grand opening of the new dog-friendly beer garden at Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Waitsfield! Their 750 sq ft fenced deck—right off the Mad River Path—is now a tail-wagging haven where pups can hydrate, socialize, and soak up the good vibes alongside their humans.

Why it matters:
The Mitzvah Fund is dedicated to nurturing the bond between people and their pets by providing free, compassionate veterinary care to those in need. Community events like this help us raise awareness—and critical funds—for vital pet health services.

We’re thrilled to share that the Mitzvah Fund will be the featured beneficiary of Lawson’s Finest Sunshine Fund from August 16–31!

This amazing program donates 100% of taproom cash contributions to local nonprofits working to make a difference in Vermont. When you visit Lawson’s during that time, your donation at the bar directly supports our mission to care for pets and the people who love them. Learn more at: lawsonsfinest.com/sunshine-fund-2025

📅 Here’s how you can get involved:

Our Story

A Mitzvah is a random act of kindness or a worthy deed.

The Mitzvah Fund started in 2006 and became a 501 C3 in 2013. We are a small but mighty group of volunteer veterinary professionals that strive to help the less fortunate. Owning a pet should not have to be a luxury but in today's economy even basic veterinary care can be daunting, especially to senior citizens on fixed incomes. We have helped hundreds of animals. Since we no longer work out of our own animal hospital we are very fortunate to have teamed up with Stonecliff Veterinary Surgical Center in Montpelier, VT. On Fridays we rent their facility and provide veterinary surgical and dentistry options for qualifying senior citizens and rescue organizations that are trying to care for and rehome special need animals. We currently service only Central Vermont seniors but hope to expand in the future.
