Veterinary emergencies can be financially burdensome, often placing a significant strain on clients who might already be managing other expenses related to their disability. The Client Emergency Fund alleviates this burden by offering financial assistance, ensuring that no client has to face the difficult decision of compromising their service dog’s care due to cost constraints.

By providing a structured and sustainable funding model, the Client Emergency Fund ensures that financial support is readily available when needed. Clients can either set up a fundraising page to cover veterinary expenses or agree on a manageable monthly donation plan, contributing to a self-sustaining cycle of support.

This fund not only safeguards the health of service dogs but also fosters a sense of community and mutual aid among PADS clients, volunteers, and supporters. It embodies the spirit of compassion and solidarity, ensuring that every PADS service dog and their handler receive the care and support they need to thrive together.
