SAF: Helping Pets and People in Need
To many of us a $50.00 medical bill at the vet is
nothing, but for an elderly person on a fixed income, a single mother, a
student, and for many others, it's an impossibility.
There are many instances of
elderly people doing without their own medicine or even food in order to care
for their animals' medical needs.
So what do you do if you
love your animal but can't afford to pay the bill?
Shakespeare
Animal Fund, a non-profit charity was founded after the loss of a
beloved Cocker Spaniel "Shakespeare". He died after a very costly illness,
and in his memory this fund was founded to help others who might face
financial problems while trying to save their pet. Let Shakespeare help
you!
You can be a hero to people in need. Support the
efforts of the Shakespeare Animal Fund with your donations of funding
and of time.

An Example of How SAF Helps...
Dear Shakespeare Animal Fund,
My name is Laura Casson, my husband is Jim Casson. Recently we contacted your
organization concerning our Cat, he was 23 years old and not doing well. We were terrified it was time to put him down. You
Organization was gracious enough to help us with the vet bill, we took him over to Dr. Pierce in Reno. The Doctor told us it was time to put him down. It broke our heart after all those years but he was put to sleep.
My husband is 75 years old and I have Multiple Sclerosis, we live on Social Security for our only income. We were so
worried about what to do for our Kitty. As hard as it was to put him down we would like to thank you for your help
financially at that time. Your organization was a God send to us and we truly appreciate your help. If there was one wish we had, of course, is our kitty would still be with us.
Thanks you again from the bottom of heart!
Jim and Laura Casson
