Emergency Animal Medical funding targets pets that would be at risk of euthanasia without treatment or pets that have experienced traumatic injuries. Many of these pets have suffered abuse or neglect, or have been injured. Our funding has helped support everything from treatment for heartworm to emergency surgery to save the lives of pets hit by vehicles, to amputations, and more. The one thing all our grants have in common: they save the lives of pets who otherwise wouldn’t have a chance.
The program also helps prevent euthanasia or pet surrender due to a pet parent’s inability to pay for veterinary care by covering those costs. Donations to this fund provide critical treatment that saves lives. By covering the veterinary costs of owned pets for families who cannot afford it, we keep the pet out of the shelter and prevent economic euthanasia--when an owned pet is euthanized as an alternative to treatment the family cannot afford.
