AAHA Helping Pets Fund Receives a Helping Hand
Veterinary Pet Insurance Company (VPI®) has generously donated $25,000 to the AAHA Helping Pets Fund to resume grant funding. Due to depleted funds from the increased number of pets helped this fiscal year, the AAHA Foundation had to temporarily suspend grants from the AAHA Helping Pets Fund in April. The generous gift from VPI Pet Insurance will enable the AAHA Helping Pets Fund to resume granting funds immediately.

“We are very excited and appreciative for this wonderful gift,” said John Albers, DVM, AAHA executive director. “By supporting the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, VPI is helping change and many times save the lives of companion animals that otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive help.”

Thank you, VPI, for your kindness and generosity.

As the benevolent arm of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), the AAHA Foundation seeks to improve the lives of pets. Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, we offer grants for veterinary care of pets that have been abandoned and those whose owners are experiencing financial hardship. AAHA-accredited veterinary practices may apply for financial assistance on behalf of their clients in need.

There are many pets the AAHA Helping Pets Fund has helped. Read some personal stories below. See the Giving Options area to find out the many different ways that you can help someone's pet.
