The heartbreak happens all too often ? a pet owner is unable to afford
treatment and their sick or injured companion animal pays the price. If
the owner is elderly, disabled or on a fixed income, the cost of care
may be too much of a stretch for heir pocketbook. Perhaps they have been
victimized by crime, property loss or a job layoff and are experiencing
a temporary financial hardship making it too difficult to afford pet
care. And some animals, brought to clinics by Good Samaritans, don't
have an owner to pay for treatment. Whatever the situation, the fact
remains the same: When sick or injured
animals are unable to receive veterinary care, they suffer. Through the
AAHA Helping Pets Fund, veterinary care is possible for sick or injured
pets even if they have been abandoned or if their owner is experiencing
financial hardship."

Mission Statement: Helping people help pets. To better the lives of
sick, injured and abused companion animals. We are dedicated to insure
that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their
caretaker is financially challenged.
The Pet Fund
<http://thepetfund.

com/
The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit association that provides
financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent
veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because
their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or emergency vet visits.
Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an
animal down or neglect urgent medical needs because of the costs
involved. The purpose of the Pet Fund is to work towards a future where
decisions about companion animal medical care need never be made on the
basis of cost.

immediate emergency veterinary care.
UK Assistance with Veterinary Bills

Most of us can cope with the financial commitment involved in the day to
day care of our pets. However, how many of us come out in a cold
sweat when our pet is ill or injured and we know we have to take it to
the vet? Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to afford it but,
some of us who love our animals dearly cannot. Unfortunately we do not
have a PDSA or a RSPCA Centre within our area, but there are a few
charities who may be able to help.

From time to time, HandicappedPets.com recognizes a caretaker of
handicapped pets that need some special attention, and a little extra
help. There are those who are so selflessly dedicated to their animal
families that they give up a little more than they can afford."
