Veterinary Urgent Care of the Desert created the Care Fund in partnership with the Veterinary Care Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, in order to expand our efforts to help pets in need. Since the foundation’s operating expenses are funded through VUCD's membership dues, 100% of every dollar donated to the VUCD Care Fund is used to treat sick or injured animals.

​

How the Funds Are Used

 

Our Care Fund donations are generally restricted to the following:

• Funding for Good Samaritan cases

• Funding for abandoned pets

• Assistance for pet owners in financial crisis

• Emergency and medical care for lost or injured pets

• Support local and regional animal rescue organizations

• Funding recipients must have a treatment plan and estimate from Veterinary Urgent Care of the Desert and demonstrate that all other payment options have been exhausted including:

• Personal finances (credit cards, scratch pay, and care credit)

• Donations from family and friends

• Additional fundraising efforts
