Ferdinand's Fund: We're Here to Help

Picture
Through Ferdinand's Fund, we can help keep your pets healthy, happy, and comfortable.
Ferdinand’s Fund was created after founder Jennifer Brown experienced an unexpected, tragic medical crisis with her dog Ferdinand. Nine months and thousands of dollars of emergency care, vet visits, medications, and a successful surgery brought Ferdinand a clean bill of health in 2014. If it weren’t for a strong support system and financial assistance of friends and family, Ferdinand may not have received the help he needed to get better.

Now that Ferdinand has passed on, we are committed to making sure that other pet parents can use Ferdinand’s Fund to help care for their senior pets in unanticipated emergencies or times of distress. The mission of Ferdinand's Fund is to provide the resources owners of senior pets need to keep them in their homes. Medical bills, vet visits, food, and medication are only a few of the items that this fund covers. 

Please complete this application as thoroughly as possible so we can better serve you in your time of need. A SPAAR representative will follow up with you within one week of receiving your application.

While SPAAR considers senior pets to be cats that are more than ten years old and dogs that are more than eight years old, we understand that no situation is the same when it comes to caring for your pet. We review every application individually and decide if we can provide assistance to you. Please note that SPAAR gives priority assistance to families who have adopted animals from its organization.

    Pet Information

    As a cornerstone of SPAAR’s mission statement, we work to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets and will assist with this endeavor in the community whenever possible. SPAAR gives priority to owned pets who are spayed or neutered.

    If you are seeking financial assistance with medical bills or medication for your pet, you must complete the "medical information" portion of this application.

    Please note: having received prior assistance does not necessarily disqualify you from future assistance.

    Medical Information

    Once applications are reviewed, we will contact individuals we are considering funding within 10 business days for copies of receipts related to the treatment of the medical issue to this application. SPAAR cannot distribute funding to individuals for this purpose - money for medical expenses must be given directly to a veterinarian. If your request is not for medical assistance we will contact you if your application is approved within 5 business days.
