Giving Tuesday:
Frosted Funding

Frosted Funding is a program in place to assist families experiencing financial hardship in our community to keep their pets safe and healthy.

We primarily provide veterinary care that is required to maintain and enhance the quality of life for senior animals. We can also help with food, supplies, training, grooming, pet deposits, fence repairs, and impound fees.

Our hope is that Frosted Funding will empower families to keep their pets instead of relinquishing them to the shelter or resorting to economical euthanasia.

  • If your pet was lost and you discovered him at a shelter a week later- would you have the money to pay the impound, spay/neuter, and vaccination fees to get him out?

  • If your pet kept running at large, and animal services asked you to secure your yard to keep your pet safe and out of the shelter- how would you pay for the materials and labor to fix your fence?

  • If you needed to move to a new rental and there was a pet deposit or pet rent required- would you be able to pay this so your pet could move with you?

  • If your pet needed a surprise curative surgery to make him comfortable- would you have the money to pay for it or would you have to put him to sleep?

We have encountered all of these scenarios with pet parents this year and were able to help thanks to you!

We do not qualify families asking for proof of hardship. This creates an unnecessary barrier for many who do not have the tools or skillset for this type of submission. If a guardian says they need help and has taken the time to pursue our resource, we are here to help.

This year, we have been offered a $10,000 match by Tanya Nielsen and another $10,000 by Marilyn Cole-Heston to inspire donors to give toward this program in a big way! We invest an average of $10,000 each month toward Frosted Funding cases. We typically fund $250-$1,000 per case for those with the greatest need, where our contribution will make the most significant impact.

When you help to raise $20,000 to be matched on this #GivingTuesday, you are helping to fund an entire four months of whatever meets the need for families who made a promise of forever to their pets and want to make good on it.

Let’s come together and tell our fellow pet parents not to worry- the tab is on us!
