Banfield Charitable Trust believes every pet owner should be invested in their pet’s care and that means pet owners are required to contribute a significant portion to their pet’s care. Due to limited funding and a high number of requests, HOPE Funds cannot cover the entire cost of your pet’s treatment. Before HOPE Funds can be considered as an option, pet owners must first fill out a Care Credit application. If Care Credit is granted, they must use that money before HOPE Funds can be considered as an option.

The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or medical treatment. Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal down or neglect medical needs because of the costs involved.

Magic Bullet Fund provides financial assistance for canine cancer treatment only when the family is financially unable to provide treatment.

Canine Cancer Awareness is a tax-deductible non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness of the prevalence of canine cancer, its effects and the available treatment options.

Brown Dog Foundation is a 501c3 public charity that provides funding to families who find themselves in these situations - a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to an unforseen circumstance, there is not enough money immediately available to make it happen. Their hope is that knowing this foundation exists, dog-owners will have their dogs tested for cancer more frequently.

Special Needs Dobermans We are an all-volunteer organization of people with a common goal of helping Senior and special needs Doberman Pinschers. That need may be financial for Doberman Rescue Groups, or it may be only information and/or moral support for the owner of a Doberman with a serious illness or injury. We will also aid Rescue Groups in rehoming and fostering senior Dobermans they may place under their care. The financial aid we provide may come from donations, occasional online auctions or SND Store sales. Every precaution is taken to assure that the need is real. SND maintains an "every penny" rule which guarantees that 100% of donations to the care of Dobermans are used ONLY for that purpose. Administrative costs are covered with proceeds from our online store, by designated donations and by occasional auctions specifically for that purpose.
