The Downtown Animal Care Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization.
MISSION STATEMENT
Assisting low-income families and individuals in accessing veterinary care for family pets by providing matching funds for that care. Subsidizing examination and surgical space and equipment provided to veterinarians who are donating their time, or who are providing time at reduced rates for animals in need. Providing emergency health care, adoption services, and spay and neuter services to stray, abandoned or relinquished animals.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Downtown Animal Care Foundation provides funding in the form of matching funds and grants to assist low income families in getting the veterinary care they need for their pets and to provide care for stray, abandoned or relinquished animals. The Downtown Animal Care Foundation does NOT provide veterinary care. We work in conjunction with the Downtown Animal Care Center which is a for-profit veterinary hospital which provides low-cost veterinarian care to the general public.
The DACF makes matching funds available to qualifying low-income individuals and families based on referrals from the Downtown Animal Care Center. The criteria for a matching grant is made on a case by case basis by the board with the following items considered:
The recipient cannot currently be indebted to the service provider
The recipient must be a conscientious and committed pet owner
The recipient must demonstrate both ability and willingness to put up matching funds
Funds are only available for one-time service, not ongoing veterinary care
