EligibilityClients:
· 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 $1,460 per month or lower (couples combined $1,900 or less).
· Once a client no longer has the animal companions with whom he/she registered at
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.
