Please Note: The COVID-19 Pandemic severely curtailed our ability to fundraise since 2020. As a result, at this time, we must limit financial requests to veterinary clinics on Vancouver Island.
We do not provide assistance directly to pet owners. In order to process a request for financial support we require that the veterinary clinic submit the following information on behalf of the pet owner:
Estimate for the work to be done
Prognosis/suspected outcome/survival expectancy for the Pet
Age, Breed, and Name of Pet
Proof of Low Income for the Pet Owner as well as their Spouse (T4, Statement of Benefits, Paystub etc.)
Contact Information for the Vet Clinic
Any other assistance the Pet Owner is obtaining through financing or other foundations.
Completed Request Form
Once we have all of this Information we will be able to process the request very quickly.
