MCPAW Moves Forward
MCPAW was founded in 2010 to help get the new animal shelter built, now known as MCASAC (Montgomery County Animal Services & Adoption Center), and since then has served as the dedicated partner to MCASAC. One of MCPAW’s most successful programs offered to MCASAC is the Veterinary Medical Fund. Over the past 5 years, the fund paid for surgeries and medical treatment for over 40 animals. But now it’s time to take that success and expand out to help more homeless pets in the area!
MCPAW has formed a new entity called the Medical Care Program for Animal Well-Being. Working with and through our partner-shelter network in the Greater Washington DC area, MCPAW accepts detailed applications from those shelters to cover the costs for medical care required to treat and heal severely injured or ill animals so they can be adopted, and our funding goes directly to the veterinarians that provide the care.
We are animal lovers. We are committed to the ideal that no injured or ill, domesticated shelter animal should go untreated or worse, be unnecessarily euthanized, due to lack of funding for treatment of a curable condition if we can make them healthy and adoptable.
MCPAW is in the early stages of rolling out this new program, so stay tuned for more information. We are continuing to support MCASAC just as we always have, through the Veterinary Medical Fund, the free pet food bank, the Loyal Companions Grant Program, reduced adoption fees for special events, and supplying enrichment items to the pets in residence.
