| An idea....to help those with pets in need
Id like to get some wide spectrum opinions and hopefully added insight and advice or more from everyone here. Driven by personal experience and loss I came up with an idea for a foundation for financial assistance to those who have pets with medical needs but cannot afford the cost. The premise is that vets all over the nation would join by membership and offer a discount of service or supplies to those making application for help. The vet makes a determination of illness or need and makes application to the foundation for assistance for the animal. The animal owner would provide a financial affidavit and a request for help through the vet who would then apply to the foundation. The need could be for a simple procedure or maybe just a months worth of meds or maybe a major medical service like surgery. The applicants name would then be added to a list of persons who did or didnt receive help and then flagged for review of further assistance is asked for later. So what do you guys think? Ideas? Suggestions? Comments? Last edited by rmdesignworks; 07-27-2014 at 04:30 PM. |

I can already see people who would take advantage of this service. There are a LOT of people out there who can't afford to have pets, yet they do. Pets aren't exactly cheap to have...between food, treats, medical care, paying to have someone watch them if you're on vacation, pet health insurance. I believe anyone who sells or adopts out pets should get financials from those who want a pet. IMO, they should really have that for people, but they don't.

The vets around here already have a care credit type of system in place. Not that it matters to me. I love my dog but I'm not willing to go into debt to keep him alive. Cancer? Sorry Hilux, time to go to the big playground in the sky once your quality of life goes down. |
