Pet Emergency Fund Success Story

Rico, an 8 year old Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, started showing signs of great discomfort one day. He was diagnosed with dental disease and needed to have eight teeth extracted immediately in order to relieve the pain and stop the infection.

The cost of the extensive dental procedure was estimated at $1500-2000, which Rico's owners didn't have because of recent employment changes in their family. The vet staff used their Pet Emergency Fund account so that Rico's owners only had to pay $500, which was the most that they could afford.

Rico had the dental surgery, recovered well and lived happily ever after!

PEF Selected as Lowe's Employee Give-Back Time Recipient!

PEF is honored to be selected as a recipient of Lowe's Store #1883 employee give-back time!

One of PEF's 2018 goals is to increase awareness about the organization among pet owners in Erie and Niagara counties by working in conjunction with other pet-related groups, including rescues and dog parks.

In keeping with that goal, PEF's proposal for the use of the Lowe's employee give-back time is build benches that will be inscribed with PEF contact information. The benches will then be donated on behalf of PEF to dog parks in Erie and Niagara counties.

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project!
