Emergency Medical Fund
How is CHA able to provide medical care when animals come to our shelter with serious injuries or other medical needs? With YOUR help!
CHA has established an Emergency Medical Fund (EMF) that is used to pay for non-routine medical expenses for dogs and cats. This fund is financed solely by donations. It is used to save lives, provide necessary medical care and surgeries, and improve the quality of life for animals who might otherwise have no hope. Please scroll down to find out how you can help.
Some EMF Success Stories...
Shaboogie started out an underdog - a mixed breed in a world who wants the fanciest designer dogs. She went from one rescue to another in hopes that someone would be able to find her a family that would care for her for the rest of her life. Once at CHA Animal Shelter we noticed that she was having trouble walking and standing. She would be bounding towards you with all the energy and excitement of a 10-month-old puppy, and her back legs would just fall out from under her. For the full story, read here.
For Vicky, we’re not sure which came first for this young mother, the litter of kittens or her badly broken leg. All we know is that Vicky is a survivor. She was found in a rough side of town as she managed to pull her mangled, starving body up on a kind woman’s porch. Vicky’s luck was about to change and she arrived at CHA Animal Shelter. For the full story, read here.
Please find it in your heart to help these poor animals in need! Surplus donations to the fund will be used only to care for present or future CHA animals with non-routine medical issues.
