Micro-Cash Flow Pet Care Loan Application Outline For Responsible Pet Guardians

The Pet Tenders Foundation will consider providing cash-flow loans to people in transitional hardship situations resulting from unavoidable disasters.  Loans will be made in the form of payments to the pet care provider* on behalf of the borrower.  Loans will not exceed $500 and must be repaid according to a mutually agreed-upon payment schedule within 6 months of the borrower regaining custody of the pet(s).   If approved, borrowers must sign a binding legal contract agreeing to repay the loan to the Pet Tenders Foundation.   (Note:  At the present time, the PTF has the resources to support only one loan at a time, and preference will be given to Franklin Co., MO residents.)
