Most pet parents share an intense love and bond with their animal companions. A pet is not “just a dog,” “just a cat,” or "just an animal," but rather a beloved family member, bringing companionship to our lives.

The loss of a pet can often feel overwhelming and trigger all sorts of painful and difficult emotions. A beautiful way to memorialize your pets life is to start a fundraiser to help other pet parents with the cost of urgent veterinary care..

The Emergency Fund is vital to our mission! 🏥

The Emergency Fund is vital to our mission. We do not have the time or resources to fundraise for every pet we help. Some pets need help now and cannot wait a few days for us to fundraise for them. The Emergency Fund supports these pets.
