Dr. Doolittle Fund
On average, the HSNCF spends over $500 on medically needy animals. The Dr. Doolittle Fund was created to cover the cost of veterinarian expenses related to animals with serious but treatable medical conditions. 100% of the Dr. Doolittle proceeds go directly to rescue animals with medical conditions who might not otherwise be rescued. The HSNCF staff and veterinarians determine which animals should receive Dr. Doolittle support based on the Asilomar Accords.*
Dr. Doolittle funds provide support for:
- Eye, ear and upper respiratory infections
- Demodectic and sarcoptic mange
- Heartworm disease
- Injuries and deformities
- Care for neonatal puppies, kittens and nursing mothers
- Other more severe medical conditions
*The Asilomar Accords provide uniform standards, applied at shelters around the country, for classifying the health status of shelter animals. Animals are designated as healthy, treatable (rehabilitatable or manageable), or unhealthy and untreatable. The standards are directed at saving the lives of all healthy and treatable companion animals.
