Final Wish Program

The Final Wish Program is in place to ensure the safety and long life of a pet upon the passing or incapacitation of his/her owner.  When there are no other options, and one does not want to assign the pet the uncertain fate of being surrendered to the shelter, we commit to providing family and quality veterinary care for the pet's entire natural life.

Every Frosted Face that enters our program requires an interview with the owner or family and temperament testing.  Acceptance into the program is based on space and the likelihood that we can meet the owner or family's expectations of placing and caring for the pet.

We receive monthly updates from the new family, and share these photos and medical updates to the family upon request. We also participate in end of life decisions with the new family, so as to make sure all diagnostics have been considered and resources are available for treatment if it is reasonable.

Frosted Faces Foundation Promises:

• We immediately house the pet at FFF, providing food, shelter, and necessary veterinary care by experienced staff

• We place the pet with a thoroughly screened family, and we always take the pet back if he/she is placed with a family who cannot honor the lifelong commitment for the pet

• We cover lifelong medical expenses at FFF Veterinary Hospital

• We maintain excellent communication with the original family month to month

• We never euthanize the pet for treatable health conditions or undesirable behavior

The Final Wish Program is a unique service offered to the community, as an alternative to the government funded shelter system, where the need is overwhelming. For this reason, we ask for a fair donation of $2,000 to support the cost of fulfilling the above promises for your pet and peace of mind. We can take responsibility of up to 3 pets per household. If the pet guardian and advocates for the family are experiencing financial hardship, there is a grant opportunity to help!
