Making a Difference in the Lives of Pets and Pet-Parents.
Pumpkin made a miraculous recovery after being shot twice in the head. Although she is now blind, she is living a full life with her family. Dixie regained her sight and is now able to see her family and enjoy playing fetch again!Obi was a stray that was hit by a vehicle, leaving fractures in both legs. He is now back to running and playing in his new forever home.With your support, we can expand access to necessary medical services.
7-10% of pet-parents apply for financial assistance annually, not including those who don’t qualify.
In two years, the Care Fund has granted over $125,000 to Central Oregon pets in need.
Through this funding and donated veterinary services, over 100 pets have received advanced medical care since 2023.
300 pets have gone through Rehabilitation Therapy to assist with their recoveries (made possible by the Hero Fund)
