| Pets are a part of the family. We are in the longest recession since World War II. Many families are feeling the pinch, living pay check to pay check. What happens when that pay check stops due to unemployment? Many pets end up in the shelter because families cannot feed themselves or, worse, the family and pets go without food. The pains of hunger are as real for animals as they are for you. Eligibility: If you are unemployed, fax a letter from the Virginia Employment Commission, dated within 30 days, as proof of unemployment: 888-541-9781 You are also eligible if you receive SSI AND food stamps. Please fax a copy of your SSI and food stamp card to: 888-541-9781. |
