Mission Animal Hospital

Because They're Family

Making veterinary care accessible to all families—no matter their financial situation—is what drives Mission Animal Hospital, the nation’s only full-service, independent nonprofit veterinary hospital.

Through our donor-supported Mission Program, we provide subsidized care to thousands of families who would otherwise be forced to choose between their pet’s health and their household’s stability. We believe every pet deserves a chance, and every family deserves care.

This year, the need is greater than ever. Minnesotans are surrendering their pets in record numbers, often because they simply can’t afford veterinary care. Mission is here to change that—but we can’t do it alone.

Our goal is Big and Bold this year: $50,000 for accessible veterinary care.  

And thanks to a generous matching gift from the Elmar Family Foundation, the first $26,000 raised will be matched—doubling the impact of your donation.

In 2024, we celebrated our 10th anniversary, our 200,000th patient visit, and prevented 1000 pet surrenders and economic euthanasias. But behind every number is a name, a wagging tail, and a family that didn’t have to say goodbye.

This Give to the Max Day, your gift is more than a donation—it’s a lifeline.It’s a second chance.It’s a promise that no pet will be turned away because of cost.

Give hope. Give healing. Give to the Max.

Match Announced!
