The Animal Aid Fund for Urgent Veterinary Care

Inspired by our founder, Jack Hurd

Veterinary bills can be a challenge in the best of times*. Animal Aid, working exclusively through the recommendations of participating veterinarians, assists community members who are faced with urgent and overwhelming veterinary expenses.

But the demand is huge and our resources are not. Please give us a hand – every single dollar donated to the Animal Aid Fund for Urgent Veterinary Care goes directly to work. Your gift today will save a life tomorrow.

Who gets this assistance? People going through bad times, seniors living alone, single parents. For some, the single source of emotional warmth in their life is their companion animal. These are people who care deeply for their friends. And when that friend is suffering, these people suffer right along with them -- all the more so because they don't have the resources to pay for needed care and are faced with the specter of having to put their best friend to sleep as the only way to ease their pain.

Hello,
My name is Sheri D. and I'm writing to thank you for your service. My 12 year old dog was hit by a car the other night, and the economy being what it is, I just didn't have the funds to get her the emergency treatment and medication that she would need.

Your organization is priceless. Thank you again for providing such a valuable service. I will be donating to the cause as soon as I am able to.

Belle and I both thank you,
--
Sheri D.

Belle, on the road to recovery
