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 the 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
In a difficult time, one pet owner found hope through Pets In Need. Her senior dog needed thyroid surgery, and her younger dog was overdue for neutering—but the cost felt out of reach. At our clinic, she found affordable care and a team that truly cared.
Thanks to the support she received, both dogs are now healthy—and she even gave back by making Pets In Need the beneficiary of a fundraiser. We’re proud that PetSmart Charities recently featured her story in a national highlight, showing just how life-changing access to care can be.
