MVMA Charities The MVMA Charities (MVMAC) has two key programs to help protect and serve the pet communities of Massachusetts.

We provide assistance to a variety of animal welfare programs throughout Massachusetts as the charitable branch of the

"Protecting the lives and enhancing the futures of animals across Massachusetts." STRAY ANIMAL PROGRAM:
Provides financial assistance for emergency veterinary care of unowned animals so they can be rehabilitated and re-homed. Funds are made available to every cit

y and town in Massachusetts. EMERGENCY AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS PROGRAMS:
Provide materials and education for first responders so that they can effectively address animal-related emergencies. This includes distributing pet oxygen mask kits to fire stations and training fire fighters and EMS in basic animal first aid across Massachusetts. We've also provided funding for the State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team (SMART), Pawsitive Pantry to assist with pet food distribution to food pantries, and Mass Vest-A-Dog to purchase equipment for police K9 officers.

About our Programs

THE STRAY ANIMAL PROGRAM: Provides financial assistance for emergency care of non-owned, unwanted, and unclaimed stray animals. By creating partnerships between local Animal Control Officers and veterinarians, the MVMAC plays an important role in getting these animals the medical care they need. Funds are made available to every town and city in the state. Achievements: Currently 70 communities across Massachusetts have registered for the Stray Animal Program and are receiving as much as $3,000 per year to offset the medical and surgical care of their stray animals. Goal: It is the goal of the Stray Animal Program to enlist all 351 cities and towns throughout the commonwealth. EMERGENCY AND DISASTER PROGRAMS: Provides funds for disaster and emergency response, recovery, mitigation and planning, education for animal owners, and trainings for teams. Pet Oxygen Masks were distributed to fire stations across Massachusetts and have saved the lives of many animals over the years. The MVMAC supports the State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team (SMART) annually in their efforts to address the needs of animals in emergencies and disasters. The MVMAC also helped to bring Basic Animal Rescue Training (BART) to Massachusetts in 2015 and has since offered trainings in 14 towns across the state.
