New Vet Fund to Assist the Community...

SCR has created a new fund to provide assistance for veterinary and emergency needs of animals owned by private citizens or other rescue organizations in Washington. It is not limited to horses - we will consider requests for any animal. The fund is not sustained by SCR, but is solely dependant on donations that are sent in and earmarked for this fund.

So far we have been able to pay for two surgeries of dogs; one who had a private owner and another that belonged to a shelter. Priority will be given to low income and senior citizens who can provide a wonderful home for their animal, but who are not able to afford a large veterinary bill, or just need temporary help with food, medication or other urgent needs.
