The
Pet Fund
The Pet
Fund is a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit association that provides
financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need veterinary
care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their
owners cannot afford expensive surgery or medical treatment. Companion
animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal
down or neglect medical needs because of the costs involved.

Temporary
Foster Home
Blessed
Bonds
BLESSED
BONDS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the
human-animal companion bond and promoting its value. We believe
in keeping people and pets together. Our vision is to keep pets
out of the animal welfare system and in homes where they belong. We are
almost 6 years old and help out in the Chicagoland area.
One of
the top ten reasons people give up their pets to animal shelters is
because of personal problems/medical crisis. Researchers have concluded
that "availability of temporary accommodations for pets during times of
personal crisis may reduce relinquishment."
Blessed
Bonds offers temporary assistance to persons who want to keep their
animal companions but are having difficulties that interfere with their
ability to meet their pets' daily needs.
