Our Mission
For The Love Of Alex Inc. provides emergency funding for life-saving veterinary care of low-income families.
Molly And Mariam
Molly and Mariam need help. They both suffer from painful oral disease and need surgical tooth extractions. When a pet develops oral disease, it increases bacteria within the mouth and oral tissues. This bacteria can enter the bloodstream and travel to other areas within the body, causing liver or kidney disease. Both surgeries offer these precious furbabies a longer, healthier, and pain-free future.
