Dog Do Gooders
Health care is expensive, whether you’re two legged or four, furry or skinny, fat or funny. Health insurance is a necessary expense, one difficult to afford for yourself, much less your dog. An unexpected emergency can launch anyone into deep deep debt.
This knowledge is why I was so glad to run into an organization online today that specifically fund raises to help care for the pets of low income families. It is called the RIVMA Animal Companion Foundation and was established in 2004 by the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Association. The organization holds golf tournaments and sets up donation boxes in many vet offices. It is still in its beginning phases, but the idea is so exciting! Pet owners who may qualify for the foundation’s funds just apply for a grant at their local vet.
Check it out guys : )
