program details
availability
Helping Paws appointments are limited each month and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each household may book up to 2 pets per month, with pets 25 lbs or under, so we can support as many families as possible.
visit frequency
To allow space for others in need, Helping Paws appointments are available once every 16 weeks per pet.
what's included
Each visit includes our full-service, cage-free grooming experience focused on comfort and care.
If a haircut is needed, we provide a simple, low-maintenance style rather than detailed or breed-standard trims.
eligibility
Helping Paws is available to anyone who could use a little extra support.
donor funded grooms
community-sponsored grooming
From time to time, generous members of our community donate funds to help cover the full cost of a Helping Paws grooming appointment.
To ensure donated funds are used thoughtfully and responsibly, fully sponsored grooms are offered on a case-by-case basis and may require a brief review prior to approval. This process helps us honor donor intent while continuing to support pets who truly need care.
All sponsored appointments receive the same gentle, cage-free grooming experience Furology is known for.
Donor contributions are used exclusively to offset the cost of grooming services for approved Helping Paws appointments and are applied at Furology’s discretion to ensure fairness and sustainability.
