How to Get Help
Pets In Need is dedicated to helping low-income pet owners experience the love and benefits of having a pet.
We primarily serve:
- Households at or below 200% of the federal poverty level
- Seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities
- People experiencing homelessness
Many clients qualify through Medicaid, Medicare, or partner organizations. Pet owners self-identify eligibility, with income verification collected only when needed for grants or additional assistance.
What We Do
PIN provides low-cost veterinary care for individuals with income at or below the federal poverty level and those that have limited income like the elderly, veterans, those that are homeless, or have a disability.
Our clinic in Lockland is the only resource of its kind in the Greater Cincinnati area, serving over 4,000+
pets each year. Our compassionate team is committed to supporting both our clients and their pets with kindness and care.
Story of the Month: Support Changes Lives
Deborah has been part of the Pets In Need family for over ten years. Living on a fixed income, she depends on our affordable care to keep her pets healthy. Her current dog, Mandy is more than just a pet. After the recent loss of her husband, Mandy has become her source of comfort, routine, and joy.
From checkups to vaccines, Pets In Need helps ensure Mandy stays happy and healthy. “I would be lost without her,” Deborah says. “Pets In Need has always been good to us—you keep my babygirl happy and healthy when I need her most.”
Stories like Deborah’s remind us how powerful the human-animal bond can be—and how access to care makes all the difference.
