shelter and started a group called No Kill Lehigh Valley, now known as the Fund for Veterinary Care. Our mission is to raise money to pay for veterinary care for animals whose families cannot afford it. While at the shelter, I witnessed people dropping off beloved pets for relinquishment because they were sick or injured and the family could not afford veterinary care. Fifteen years later the need for our services has grown as the cost of veterinary care has increased. Their pet is part of their family, or the only family they have.
