In July 2016, Fur Kids Foundation had 14 families apply for assistance, and we were able to help 11 families for a total of $3,199.01 given in aid. Below is some information on the cases we were able to help with:

1. A dog who needed surgery to remove mass      
2. A dog who needed surgery to remove a blockage
3. A dog with injured sinuses and bruised lungs due to an encounter with a one-ton pickup
4. A dog who needed x-rays and fluids
5. A dog who needed stitches and meds
6. A dog who needed x-rays and antibiotics             
7. A dog who needed CCL surgery
8. A dog who needed cast resets
9. A dog who needed CCL surgery
10. A dog who needed emergency surgery to remove bladder stones
11. A cat with kidney failure

Please note: we are not always able to provide assistance to every family who requests help. This happens for many reasons. Sometimes the vet bill doesn’t end up being as costly as expected so the family tells us that they can pay the bill, sometimes the applicant doesn’t complete the entire application process, or sometimes the applicant exceeds our income guidelines. To learn more about our application process, please check out our Application for Assistance, and be sure to check out our Terms of Assistance near the bottom of the application. You may also call and speak with any of our Case Managers about the process at 307.363.1131.  

Fur Kids Foundation was recently awarded a $3,500 grant from the Banfield Foundation® to be used to help the Gillette, Wyoming charity with their emergency veterinary assistance program. This funding helped the Foundation grant money to help with these cases. 

We are grateful for the dedication of Fur Kids Foundation volunteers and supporters who have helped these families stay happy and healthy, and together! When you volunteer, attend an event, or help us raise money by supporting the businesses who support us with promotions, these families are who you are helping. Thank you again for all that you do for the Foundation and for families with pets in Campbell County, Wyoming.
