Having lost Bonehead to cancer, I am really impressed with Fetch A Cure and decided I wanted to feature it In The Spotlight.
According to the Web site, Fetch A Cure is "a from-the-heart, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization determined to improve the quality of life for pets. Founded and run by those who have been faced with cancer and inevitable aging in their own pets, FETCH focuses on issues of pet health, most specifically cancer and aging and provides owners with the resources to recognize symptoms of early cancer detection and the issues regarding senior pet care."
On the issue of cancer, Fetch A Cure offers information on About Cancer, Warning Signs, Treatment Options, Clinical Trials, Resource Library, Stories of Hope, Cancer Glossary, Kids and Pets, Grief Support, Ask The Vet, FAQ, and the Companions in Crisis program which is working to provide financial aid to families unable to bear the high costs of cancer treatment, medication and rehabilitation.
I really appreciate the importance of the Companions in Crisis program from personal experience. Bonehead's treatment cost the equivelant of half-a-year of my takehome pay. Fortunately I had a small savings account, a Simple IRA and was able to obtain several credit cards to finance his treatment. But for many, the cost of treatment is out of reach. It's great that a program like Fetch A Cure's Companions in Crisis is now available to help.
The Fetch A Cure Web site also offers information about Senior Health, Get Involved and, News and Events.
