Paw It Forward - Help Pet Owners Cover Veterinary Bills
Donation protected
Dr. Hejazi began building an in-home veterinary service while working in a private practice. Pet owners, he noticed, struggled to bring their furry family members to the vet for various reasons including taking time off work or living with mobility issues.
Dr. Hejazi’s mission is to make vet care accessible to all pet owners. When traditional vet clinics close, Veterinary Home Care Services is just getting started. The mobile clinic’s hours are Monday-Friday, 4 PM-11 PM and Saturday & Sunday 9 AM-11:30 PM by appointment.
Dr. Hejazi also strives to accommodate pet parents who are struggling to make ends meet. “By having [accessible] services, they can pay their rent, they can pay their mortgage, and they can take care of their pets.”
Kristin Stark, found hope and healing through Dr. Hejazi’s mobile veterinary care. What began as routine physical exams and monthly injections has now transformed into weekly laser therapy, essential in managing Mr. Buttersworth’s condition. Kristin shares, “If I didn’t have Matthew, [Mr. Buttersworth] would no longer be with me. I wouldn’t have been able to continue the care.”

Mr. Buttersworth awaits a coming birthday treat.
Inspired by stories like Mr. Buttersworth’s, Dr. Hejazi created "Paw it Forward," a community fund aimed at making essential veterinary care accessible to all, regardless of financial barriers.
We’ve set up this GoFundMe to rally support for our mission and provide even more care to our local furry friends. 100% of your contributions will directly support pets like Mr. Buttersworth, helping us deliver critical, compassionate care to pets in need, and allowing more families to experience the joy of a healthy, happy pet.
Paw it Forward and help make a difference by extending the lives, and improving the quality of life for pets in your community!
