This might be on a forum somewhere already but I couldn't find it.

All you canines might want to know about the Magic Bullet Fund http://www.them.....tfund.org/ They help families who can't afford treatment costs. Hope it can help one of our tripawds.

Help for those who need it from the Dog and Cat Fund at http://www.dccfund.org

My cat Mona will be getting her financial assistance from the manufacturer of the vaccine that gave her cancer. If your pet's cancer is from a vaccine then ensure your vet reports it to the pharmaceutical company.

This is super helpful, thank you for adding to the list. We presently have a list in "Tips and Resources" which is why I moved your post to that area, but we always appreciate knowing about new sources. Oh, the list is also in our Downloads blog in case you know anyone who needs it.

As you know the Tripawds fundraising appeals policy doesn't allow direct personal fundraising for vet bills within the Tripawds community, but since paying for emergency vet bills is an ongoing issue for lots of folks,  I was just wondering if any Tripawds members have seen or done any creative methods to help pay for vet bills during hard times? For example, auctions, golf tournaments, etc?  Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you live anywhere near the following veterinary teaching hospitals and need help paying for your pet's cancer care, read on:

3-paws up to Petco Foundation and Blue Buffalo! A recent news article reported:

Since April, Petco Foundation and Blue Buffalo Cancer Assistance Care Fund has paid $111,350 for 38 animals to get cancer treatment owners couldn’t afford. That surgery, radiation or chemotherapy can save an animal’s life or put its cancer in remission.

University of Tennessee at Knoxfille was one of six veterinary colleges to get the three-year grant from Petco Foundation and Blue Buffalo Foundation Cancer Treatment Support Fund.

The others are

* Cornell University in New York
* Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio
* N.C. State University in Raleigh, N.C
* Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado
* and the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Nice to see the alma mater be one of the ones to get a grant.

David and Rocky (and Baxter now too!)

Rocky had his right front leg amputated on Valentine's Day 2017 after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

He joined the September Saints on September 3, 2017.

He is the toughest, bravest, sweetest and best friend I'll ever know.
