The AVMF Veterinary Care Charitable Fund helps veterinarians by offering low or no-cost veterinary services to pet owners struggling with personal hardships. The fund also helps support animals who are injured or rescued from neglect or abuse. This program, created by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) provides charitable care to disabled veterans requiring a service dog, low-income senior citizens, victims of domestic violence, and good Samaritans who rescue pets and domesticated animals.
The number of pet owners unable to afford veterinary care for their animal companions grows every day. Many pet owners make the difficult choice to forgo veterinary care for their four-legged friends because they cannot afford the cost of care. Sensitive to the needs of pets and their owners, concerned and compassionate veterinary professionals are constantly searching for new ways to provide charitable veterinary services. The AVMF Veterinary Care Charitable Fund helps pet owners get the veterinary services they need to keep their furry friends healthy and happy. Helping members of the community care for their pets improves the overall quality of life in the community.
