Salmonella poisoning threatened to take his life...

When 12 weeks of antibiotics didn't cure little Dax, his mom had to keep trying. After losing her job due to CoVid 19, she found Brown Dog Foundation online and was able to get Dax healthy once and for all with a grant from our VetBilling Repayment Program.

How About Doubling Your Gift?

Remember to ask your employer about your company's Matching Gift policy when you make your donation. They might double, or even triple, the amount of money you give...and YOU get all the recognition! If you need help with contacting your HR department and filling out the paperwork, email Monica and she'll be glad to help you out.

Why give?

It can happen to any of us. Just as this year's COVID Pandemic and subsequent economic closures proved, not one of us is immune to unexpected financial crisis. We think we've planned properly for our pet's care, but in an unplanned moment we find ourselves in a situation having to choose between putting food on the table and saving our pet's life.

Brown Dog Foundation was established in 2006 to be a resource for those facing this heartbreaking choice. No beloved family pet should have to make the ultimate sacrifice just because money stands in the way. Since 2006, our work has helped save the lives of more than 1550 family pets.

Be a part of the solution! Help us "bridge the gap between the cost of medical care and saving the family pet." Read our success stories here.
