What is the Giving Tree Fund?
The Giving Tree Fund provides financial assistance to pet owners facing unexpected emergency veterinary costs. This fund helps bridge the gap for families who want to provide care for their pets but need additional support during their evaluation at EMEVC. This fund was started to prevent veterinary burn out in emergency veterinary staff as well as to help the community.
