The Pets for Life program of the Humane Society of the United States reaches out to underserved communities to provide free animal care resources and services to people and pets that have never received them. It aims to strengthen the human-animal bond and keep pets in homes rather than being abandoned. Many communities lack access to veterinary care, pet food, and supplies. By addressing these needs, PFL helps animals by empowering owners. It fills a gap in companion animal welfare by meeting people in their communities through outreach to offer services like training, supplies, vaccinations, and food with the goal of building more humane communities through cultural change.
