The Pet Fund - Support Pets

The Pet Fund was founded in 2003 as a national nonprofit dedicated to funding veterinary care for those who could not afford it. Animal shelter statistics across the country demonstrated a constant increase in the number of animals dropped off at shelters because of treatable medical conditions. Thanks to the generosity of the law firm of O’Melveny & Myers, The Pet Fund incorporated as a 501(c)3 and began raising funds to address this growing problem. The staff and board members of The Pet Fund work constantly to develop resources for pets and their families to fund critically needed veterinary care, keeping animals out of shelters and helping pet owners to become skilled at preventative care practices. Since medical treatment costs for animals (as for people) are also on the rise, this is an ongoing funding challenge.
