Who's looking out for our local Retired K9 Officers???

VCA Support Local K9 Law Enforcement Officers both active and in retirement. 

For the next three months, VCA Charities is dedicating their fundraising efforts to local community charities. VCA Hollywood's efforts will be to raise awareness and funds for the Sheriff's Foundation of Broward County's Retired K9 Officers Healthcare Fund. We proudly support this fund and it's commitment to provide healthcare to K9 Officers in retirement. 

In retirement, K9 Police Officers are no longer financially supported by the department they served. Their handlers, or partners, are often the ones who voluntarily adopt these animals to live out their retirement in comfort. 

The Sheriff Foundation of Broward County Retired K9 Officers Heathcare Fund’s mission is to provide the best in wellness care to these canine officers that have worked to protect our S. Florida community by defraying veterinary care costs in their retirement. Every dollar we raise goes to support this wellness care.

Through direct donation and the sale of  VCA WOOF/MEOW hats and other apparel, we will be focusing our fundraising efforts on this worthy charity from March 24^th- June 15^th .

Give Life Fundraiser for Animals!!!

An all to common theme in veterinary medicine comes when people find themselves in a situation where money is tight and a pet is sick. It could happen to anyone with a pet. You have always managed to give your family pet the medical care they deserve but then an unexpected circumstance occurs and you’re faced with vet expenses that are far beyond your reach. In other situations, a lost or homeless pet  is injured or abused and a good Samaritans wants to help- whether they can immediately afford it or not.


 Vets care for pets. They never want a pet to suffer. Often they are asked to give free supplies and services.  However, medical supplies, diagnostics and other expenses that ensure a practice continue to offer the finest medical care- all add up!

There are many organizations available to help. One such group is GIVE LIFE. Give Life has seen this challenge and wants to help. by providing assistance to pet owners to pay veterinary bills.     

Sunday April 19^th from 2-5pm Join Give Life for some fun to raise money for area hospitals to provide funding for pet care programs. 






































Other organizations that can assist owners in financial need is the Pet Fund  as well as GoForward and GoFundme that helps individuals establish fundraisers.
