When natural disaster strikes, families of all income levels can be devastated in seconds. Our Disaster Relief program allows Veterinary Clinics to respond to the needs of the family pets brought in during storms. If the animal requires medical treatment, the Vet Clinic may apply to Brown Dog Foundation for up to $500 in funding to save the pet's life. Regardless of whether or not the family is located, the animal receives the care they need.
Only Veterinary Clinics may apply for this assistance. Requests must be made within 24 hours of taking possession of the animal and an official DART notification is required. If a family is located and authorizes charges beyond the immediate critical care, the family is responsible for those additional charges. Our program is designed to provide for stabilizing and keeping the animal comfortable, or immediately required critical care.
