The Angel Care Fund

About The Program

The Angel Care Fund is a program for client’s receiving services at the Legacy Humane Veterinary Clinic. This program is dedicated to helping pets receive the medical care they need when financial hardship might otherwise stand in the way. Too often, treatable conditions go unaddressed because families cannot afford lifesaving or quality-of-life procedures, leaving pets to suffer or placing them at risk of being surrendered to overcrowded shelters.

Through the Angel Care Fund, financial assistance is provided to qualifying pet owners receiving care at LHVC for procedures that are lifesaving or significantly improve a pet’s quality of life. By helping ease the financial burden on families, we hope to keep beloved pets healthy, safe, and at home with the people who love them, while also helping reduce intake pressures on local rescues and shelters.

You do not need to be an existing client to be accepted to the program but all services are required to be completed at LHVC. At this time, funding cannot be extended to services performed at outside veterinary facilities.

The Angel Care Fund is made possible through the generosity of donors who believe every pet deserves access to compassionate veterinary care, regardless of financial circumstances. Every contribution helps save lives, relieve suffering, and keep families together.

LHVC provides financial assistance to owners whose pets have treatable medical conditions that they are unable to afford the veterinary bill to complete the care needed to save or drastically improve their quality of life.  In many cases, these pets may be turned over to local animal shelters or rescues and considered for euthanasia due to the financial burden. We seek to lessen this burden for families, shelters and rescues by providing financial assistance for the necessary treatment, allowing these pets to end their suffering and stay with their families.

Please review the following medical equirements for funding prior to submitting an application:

  • Fundable conditions include, but are not limited to: amputations, obstructions, dermatologic conditions, eye surgery, heartworm treatment, pyometra, emergency c-section with spay and mass removal.   
  • Routine veterinary care, including spay and neuter surgeries, are excluded.
  • There are no restrictions based on age or breed, but consideration will be given to additional underlying conditions and the expectation of improvement of quality of life after the proposed treatment or procedure.  
  • We reserve the right to decline financial assistance or to determine partial or complete funding of the proposed treatment.  

Upon receiving an email or message from LHVC, our team will review the request. You will be contacted to review approval or denial of funding for your pet’s care. Most denials will be based on lack of funding, as we will not be able to grant all requests.  LHVC does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex or race. Every effort is made to use funds in the most responsible way.

To qualify for this program, we must receive proof of denial from Care Credit or another veterinary financing provider a valid ID (drivers license, passport or state issued ID) and one of the following:
  • Proof of being on Disability, Social Security, Workers Comp, Medicaid or Medicare or other valid Government Assistance
