About Pet Patrol
Description of Services Provided by Pet Patrol, A People, Pet
Partnership
Eligibility
Clients:
·
Any
resident of Houston who is able to present a letter confirming a
terminal illness (AIDS, cancer, heart disease, stroke, liver disease,
diabetes) diagnosis or elderly shut-in and proof of low-income status is
eligible to be a client. The income must be $1,200 per month or lower
(couples combined $1,700 or less).
·
Once a
client no longer has the animal companions with whom he/she registered
at the intake, that person will no longer be considered a PPP client.
If new animals are acquired, that person must proceed through the
regular intake process to be considered as a client.
Animals:
·
Each
client will receive assistance for up to two animals only. Ongoing
assistance will be provided for these animals for as long as possible.
·
PP
will not cover any additional animals that may be added to a client's
household. Our mission is to help people keep their animals--not
to assist people in getting new animals.
·
Except
for rare cases in which the animal's health prohibits surgery, all PP
animals must be spayed or neutered before they can be activated
as a client. If an animal has not been spayed or neutered at the time of
client intake, the companion animal will be spayed/neutered within
ninety (90) days.
·
Due to
potential health hazards for our clients, PPP will not cover any animals
that are under nine months of age. Reptiles, wildlife, amphibians,
primates, ferrets or other animals that pose significant health risks
will also be exempt from coverage.
Annual
Certification
·
An
annual recertification will take place to ensure that all clients are
still eligible to receive services.
