Many pet-related challenges can be solved with the right support.
If you are facing a tough situation with your pet, you are not alone. These local and national resources may help you get through a hard stretch and keep your family together.
LAWS cannot take emergency calls, but these can. Phone before you drive. After-hours cover changes, and whoever answers can tell you what to do on the way.

Please phone to confirm before you count on any of this. Every organization here is independent of LAWS. We do not control their hours, and we cannot know whether someone is on call tonight. Hours change, practices merge and close, and after-hours cover is often the first thing to go. We last checked every number and every set of hours on 18 August 2026. If you find something out of date, tell us and we will fix it for the next person.
LAWS no longer offers a spay/neuter coupon program. We do provide Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) for feral and community cats. For other veterinary needs, these options can help:
Formal crisis pet-boarding is limited locally. Plan ahead: name a trusted emergency caregiver and keep written care instructions handy.
LAWS operates a limited-capacity rescue and is unfortunately unable to accept every surrender request. If you are considering surrendering a pet, please contact us first and tell us about your situation. We will talk through your options honestly, and if we are able to help, we will send you the right surrender questionnaire.
