need help w/vet bills
Does anyone know of any organizations that help with vet bills? I am a volunteer with a rescue group. Someone that adopted one of my fosters is now having financial problems and needs help with her dogs medical bills.
I know I have read in the past that there are some organizations that can help with this type of thing. Does anyone know the name of these organizations?
Thanks for your help

Re: need help w/vet bills
The names "IMOM" and "CreditCare" come to mind; I know nothing more about them than what I've read here on this forum--I'm not even sure that those are the correct names!
I'm sure that others will have better information.
Good thoughts and prayers are on the way to help you find what you need.

Re: need help w/vet bills
Here is a list of organizations that might be able to help:
Here we also have a Pet Emergency Fund that people can apply to. That's something worth looking into in your area as well.
There are also on line fundraising sites but they usually need a non-profit umbrella organization and they do take a percentage of the money you raise.

Re: need help w/vet bills
There are probably some duplicates in here as I combined a couple of lists that I have. Some also don't have the website, but at least the names are there, and a google search will probably bring up websites.
American German Shepherd Rescue Association, Inc.
Grants to Rescue Groups: Through receipt of donations and other fund raising activities the AGSRA has established a pool of funds available to qualified German Shepherd rescue organizations for reimbursement of certain types of rescue activities which support our goal of safeguarding German Shepherds.
IMOM (resource for owners and rescue organizations)
"Mission Statement: Helping people help pets. To better the lives of sick, injured and abused companion animals. We are dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged." Note: IMOM also assists rescue organizations. Cases must be approved PRIOR to start of treatment.
Ortho Dogs Silver Lining (resource for owners and rescue organizations)
Canine orthopedic conditions and injuries are typically very expensive to treat medically and often the costs of treatment impose heavy financial burdens on caregivers. The intent of the Orthodogs' Silver Lining Foundation (OSLF) fund is to provide financial assistance to those families or individuals who find themselves in a position in which they cannot provide medical care for their companion dogs. Note: Orthodogs also assists rescue organizations.
The goal of Orthodogs' Silver Lining is to assist with the treatment, support or surgery of any in orthopedic condition or injury which it has been determined that the desired course of action will significantly improve the dog's quality of life. It is our hope that by assisting with the costs of these expensive medical treatments, companion dogs will be able to receive the care they need in order to enjoy an acceptable quality of life, and that they will be able to remain with their guardians.
United Animal Nations (resource for owners and rescue organizations)
"The LifeLine Grant Program provides funding to Good Samaritans, animal rescuers, non-profit organizations and pet owners to help them care for animals in life-threatening situations.
HandicappedPets.com (resource for owners and rescue organizations)
"From time to time, HandicappedPets.com recognizes a caretaker of handicapped pets that need some special attention, and a little extra help. There are those who are so selflessly dedicated to their animal families that they give up a little more than they can afford."
Care Credit (resource for owners and rescue organizations)
A credit card company for health care, including veterinary care.
"Care Credit, the leader in patient/client financing, has helped more than 3 million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed and wanted. With a comprehensive range of plan options, for treatment or procedure fees from $1 to over $25,000, we offer a plan and a low monthly payment to fit comfortably into almost every budget."
Can help organizations set up on-line fundraising. Will also assist individuals with setting up fundraising for animals in need of extensive medical care.
Spay USA
SPAY/USA, a program of North Shore Animal League America, is a nationwide network and referral service for affordable spay/neuter services.
Our mission is to end the suffering of innocent dogs and cats by reducing the number of unwanted births. Anyone who needs assistance finding affordable spay/neuter services can benefit by using the SPAY/USA referral service.
We also work with individuals who want to set up programs in their own area to help those in need. Spay/neuter services should be within reach - geographically and financially - for everyone who has a cat or dog.
SPAY/USA has over 1,000 sterilization programs and clinics nationwide with 7,000 top-notch veterinarians in the network as of 2003. Our goal is to make spay/neuter services affordable to those who might not otherwise spay/neuter their pets. By working together, we hope to popularize and facilitate spay/neuter services throughout the country and end pet overpopulation.
Help us end pet overpopulation!
Call us toll-free at 1-800-248-SPAY (1-800-248-7729). Our phone counselors are available Monday - Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST.
Low Cost Spay/Neuter Programs in the US
USA programs that provide low cost or free spay/neuter for pet cats and dogs, as well as strays and feral cats are searchable by city, state, county, zipcode and area code using our database search. There are also a few US nationwide programs that are available to anyone living in the United States if they qualify. Some programs work only with pets of people with low incomes, while others do not consider income at all but serve only pet cats -- or only feral (untamed) cat. Some other programs serve all kinds of people and cats. If that information was provided to us it is noted below the listing. You are advised to call the program to be certain the information is up to date.
Angels 4 Animals (resource for owners)
"Angels4Animals, a non-profit organization and a program of Inner
Voice Community Services, has a mission to serve as the guardian
angel of animals whose caretakers find themselves in difficult
financial situations. At Angels4Animals we believe that animal owners should not have to say goodbye to the animals that they love. Our work is accomplished in conjunction with veterinary clinics across the country, eager to assist as many animals, and their owners, as possible. Our services range from financial aid to complete treatment to those pets and pet owners in need."
Help-A-Pet (resource for owners)
"Our efforts focus on serving the elderly, the disabled, and the
working poor. For lonely seniors, physically/mentally challenged
individuals and children of working parents, pets represent much more than a diversion."
The Pet Fund (resource for owners)
"The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit association that
provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer
needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or
emergency vet visits. Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal down or neglect urgent medical needs because of the costs involved. The purpose of the Pet Fund is to work towards a future where decisions about companion animal medical care need never be made on the basis of cost."
Cancer: http://www.helpyourdogfightcancer.com/financial.html
If you have a dog with cancer, you know better than most why there is a great need for financial assistance for those who cannot afford cancer treatment for their loving and beloved pups. If you are able to give, donations are desperately needed by the Magic Bullet Fund and by all of the organizations below. Your donation will be greatly appeciated by the people whose dogs who would otherwise not be able to have treatment.
If you are in need of assistance:

· Apply to CareCredit.
· Attempt to secure a bank loan.

Budding French artist and animator Gwenn Germain has paid tribute to the renowned studio of Ghibli and its notable co-founder Hayao Miyazaki with this brief animation, clearly paying homage to their distinct art style while also injecting a wealth of unique visuals that would surely blend in seamlessly with any Miyazaki film.

Cartoon Network and Turner Learning have developed a national character education program for middle school students that is designed to aid educators in creating caring, principled and responsible adults. Animate Your World: Shaping Character is an interactive program using animation technology to infuse character education into the curriculum. Pilot programs are currently running in middle schools in Atlanta, Cincinnati and Seattle, with a national launch scheduled for fall.
The program focuses on three character behaviors: respect for self, respect for others and responsibility to community, and uses animation technology to make these life lessons come alive in the classroom. The program comes with a CD-ROM that can be used in language arts, social studies and guidance counseling, as well as in other curriculum areas such as art, technology and science. In addition to character education lessons, students learn problem-solving skills, the art of storytelling and visual thinking, and the basics of animation. For more information about the program, visit www.animateyourworld.com.
