OUR MISSION

1- ... that no pet owner be forced to choose inadequate treatment or euthanasia for their animal because of inability to pay for emergency medical care.
2- ... that people who receive financial help for a veterinary emergency be given the opportunity to return their gift by becoming mentors, by volunteering for VEFM, or by supporting the VEFM fund financially.
3- ... that it is the responsibility of both the local pet-owning and veterinary communities to make emergency care available--that this is not a national responsibility but a grass-roots responsibility.
4-... that the vision of VEFM will extend to communities all across the United States, possibly even the world.

Pet Insurance--ASPCA offers Discount

One way to reduce veterinary costs in case of an emergency is to have coverage through pet health insurance, before an emergency arises. One of the policies available is through the ASPCA. They are currently offering a discount to ASPCA supporters for new enrollments prior to March 31. Here is the link to that web page:
