C.A.R.E. for Paws

Fundraising

Our funding comes from generous clients and members of our community who see the need for disaster planning and response for pets.

How we fund it

Paw prints, raffles and community gifts

Our funding comes from generous clients of Countrycare Animal Complex and members of our community who see the need for this type of disaster planning and response program.

Countrycare holds fundraisers for the C.A.R.E. program. When individuals donate to C.A.R.E. for Paws, they write their names or their pets’ names on paw prints that get posted in our lobby. Excitement for the program grows as paw prints fill the lobby. On occasion, we also create pet-themed raffle baskets for our fundraising efforts. Proceeds from the raffles also benefit C.A.R.E. for Paws.

In their words

The hearts we’ve touched

“Love how caring the staff was for not only my dog but me too! I was very worried about my boy and they helped us both. He was sooo loved the entire time there. It was evident everyone truly cares about what they do! Not an easy job at all. Thank you for all yall do!!!”

Abby F.

“Dr. Heintz took the time to listen to my concerns and was very patient with my nervous dog. She even introduced herself when we stopped in for a ‘happy visit’ to get my dog used to the facility and associate it with positive things. She was very understanding and knowledgeable in how to approach my dog who is extremely fearful of strangers and also provided great treatment for my dog! It meant so much to me to have her take the time needed with my dog so she can get the care she needs!”

Marie W.

“As always, the Country Care staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did not have a true emergency. But our dog, Russell, needed medical attention right away and we were so happy we were seen quickly. We appreciate the Vet Tech listening to our concerns and the full history of the situation. And everyone showed that they really cared about Russell.”

Therese D.

“I LOVE Countrycare! You really feel like family when you walk in. I’ve been a client many years and always refer people when they need a vet to listen. Listening to your clients and their worries, fears, needs is soooo important. Thank you for always Listening!”

Deena H.

“I have been going to Country Care for over 30 years. Everyone there is very friendly, compassionate, and takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer questions. I highly recommend them to everyone.”

“I brought my boy to Country Care several years ago seeking a second opinion. He was sick and not getting better and no true diagnosis. After the first appointment not only did I have a diagnosis but a treatment plan that worked! He has been there since that day and they have, without a doubt, saved his life. He is a diabetic and has Cushing’s Disease. Their dedication and determination brought everything under control and he is a happy boy today. Thanks to their care he will be a part of my life for many years!”

Debi & Charlie N.

“I’ve been a family member for about 20 years now. Key word here is family - you are the best, and only the best for my family”

“I would not trust my cats’ care to anyone else. Dr. Strickfaden takes the time to listen and understand my concerns for my cats. She treats their health needs, both physically and emotionally, professionally and compassionately.”
