Enhancing the Lives of
Elder Community Members &
Shelter Pets
Our Mission
Animals for Elders (AFE) is a US non-profit organization committed to enriching lives through the power of animal companionship. We provide funding to people aged 70+ so they can welcome a domestic animal into their lives, reducing loneliness, increasing well-being, and giving shelter animals a second chance at a loving home.
OUR VALUES
-
One of the most serious conditions for elders is loneliness. Pets offer companionship, affection, and unconditional love. Caring for them creates a sense of purpose and alleviates feelings of loneliness. Pet parenting has proven health benefits, including promoting exercise, getting outdoors, and socialization, which decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
-
Animals for Elders funds adoption fees, veterinary care, and ongoing qualifying expenses of up to $ 1,500 per year to provide financial support and minimize monetary obstacles for elders seeking in-home pet companionship.
Your donation can make a difference. Help us help the senior community.
-
At Animals for Elders, we are committed to supporting our elder community by providing financial assistance so they can adopt a shelter animal with peace of mind, openly and safely.
