Once Upon a Time …
I adopted two pups, Miss Lacie and Mr.P. They were my steadfast companions at home and at work, and they enriched my life in so many ways. Fortunately, they both had long and mostly healthy lives.
But that is not always the case. When little Lacie was near the end. I spent long hours in a veterinary hospital waiting room and saw, to her dismay, that not everyone could afford the medical care that might prolong and even save the lives of their beloved pets. My heart ached for those people and their suffering animals…and ached again 5 years later when I lost Mr. P. I knew that the care I was able to provide to Mr. P. in his last four years was not a possibility for many others who loved their pets just as dearly and grieved their loss just as deeply.
Anyone who has a pet knows that it is a co-dependent relationship of the best sort. We give our four-footed family members our care and affection, and in return they give us unqualified love and devotion. They are blind to our faults, forgiving of our lapses, deeply sensitive to our feelings, ready to wag us or purr us out of any misery. The well-being of our pets means well-being for us, too.
And so, after the loss of Miss Lacie and then Mr. P, an idea was born that happily came to fruition in 2017. In memory of my two pups and all family pets loved and lost, TWO PUPS WELLNESS FUND was founded.
Since 2017, our organization has helped save more than 15,000 animals, but we know there is more we can do.
We invite you to learn more about our programs and how you can help!
