Our goal is to provide scholarships to PaCE students committed to working with local veterinary clinics. The 150-hour course costs $3,195 and is open to all ages. So far, the scholarship effort has been highly successful. To learn more, please go to our tab entitled Vet Crisis/Scholarship Program. We also would like to offer monthly grief group counseling (inhouse and zoom), for those who have lost a beloved pet. We also want to provide social media and website alerts on sightings and attacks, and to give pet owners a place to share their stories. The team at Amys Purpose believes in acting with urgency to raise public awareness about some of the most pressing issues facing pet safety. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a measurable difference in the lives of your pets. We do not advocate harming any wild animal.
