When your pet is diagnosed with an illness, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the costs of hospital visits, surgeries, treatments, and medicines. While these furry members of the family can't ask for help themselves, setting up a GiveForward page on their behalf provides an easy way for friends and family to contribute and help ease the financial burden.

If your pet needs expensive medical care, but you or your rescue group can't afford your pet's veterinary bill- don't panic! create a Waggle campaign. It's free and easy to do! You'll need your veterinarian's contact info, your pet's medical estimate, and clear and compelling photos of your pet. After, Waggle reviews your case and posts approved campaigns on our Meet Pets in Crisis page. You can then start sharing the link to your pet’s fundraiser with everyone you know and on social media. Your pet could be chosen for a grant or sponsorship! Waggle partners with celebrities, social influencers and nonprofits to help pets in need. Your pet may qualify for some extra attention, a matching grant, or sponsorship. Next, your veterinarian is paid. Your veterinarian then sends Waggle your pet's invoice, and we pay the animal hospital directly, providing safety and security for everyone involved. Waggle is here to help.We're the first and only pet-dedicated crowdfunding platform devoted to raising funds for pets in medical crisis and giving those at the front lines of economic euthanasia decisions a safety net.
