Shelter pets want nothing more than to move from a cage to a couch. One of the ways to help them do that is to cut down on the number of pets who find themselves in the shelter in the first place. And I’d like your help to make that happen.
As a practicing veterinarian, I’m all too familiar with the hard choices pet owners are having to make in these tough economic times. Facing a veterinary bill you can’t pay is painful, and your pet’s veterinarian feels that pain, too.
Fortunately, the American Animal Hospital Association created the AAHA Helping Pets Fund to assist veterinarians with the expenses of pets whose owners can’t afford them, as well as for pets who are abandoned at their clinics.
At the recent North American Veterinary Conference, I stopped by the AAHA booth to record this video about how I’m planning on help the Fund help pets:

If you’ve already “liked” my page, be sure to ask your animal-loving friends and family to do the same!
I’ll be continuing to raise funds and awareness for animals in need, particularly those in shelters, all year. I’ll also be helping pet owners find new, better and more cost-effective ways to keep their pets healthy and happy.

Let’s all join together, pet owners and veterinarians alike, and help the AAHA Helping Pets Fund keep pets out of shelters!
