Unwanted animal behavior is one of the top reasons animals are brought into shelters.  Behaviors like chewing, excessive barking, reactivity, and escaping can all be hard to manage in a home without help. We want to try and help our community members establish a positive relationship with their pets through training and keep them in the home they love.
​
When you sign up for the Paw in Hand behavioral assistance and are approved, you will be given resources and some financial help with training, behavior modification, and tools to help you get started. We work with a wide range of trainers to help you find the one that best suits your needs and those of your pet. 

 

Medical bills for animals can be challenging to keep up with, and in an emergency, they can be difficult to manage. We are here to help keep animals with the people who love them, especially if you are facing a medical concern.

When you sign up for the Paw in Hand Medical Assistance and are approved, there can be a portion of the medical bills covered if working with TCRAS. We don't want anyone to feel they have to give up their animal because of an emergency medical situation.
