To do this, we’ve developed a veterinary care grant, Dutch’s Fund, and a training grant, Stella’s Fund, to help with pet care costs when adopters are experiencing financial hardship. Contributions to our Adopter Support program are always welcome, and will be directly used to keep OTAT pets with their families when assistance is needed.
One Tail at a Time knows that the costs of caring for a pet who unexpectedly is diagnosed with a major medical illness can affect an entire family’s well-being, and could potentially jeopardize the family’s ability to keep their animal in the home. We want all of our adopters to know we are committed to each of our animal’s happiness and well-being, even after the adoption contract has been signed.
Stella’s Fund can offset the costs of training for both behaviorally-complex dogs and those that need a little extra help transitioning to their new home. Stella’s Fund better equips One Tail to work with dogs in our care, and also provides grant funds to adopters who are committed to keeping their dogs as a part of their family, even when they present behaviors that require costly training that is not affordable due to a financial hardship.
