The Good Neighbor Fund (GNF) was established in September 2020 and launched in February 2021. This program was formed to strengthen families and individuals by offering assistance and coordinating no-cost vet care to allow families to keep their pets healthy and in their homes.
The Good Neighbor Fund provides need-based financial assistance for non-emergency pet care at no-cost to Goochland and Powhatan residents who reside at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
