Misconceptions Can Hurt Those In Need 

We have heard the reason why some people do not donate to Paws 4 A Cure is because - if the person cannot afford to care for their pet, they should not have one. The majority of our applicants are hardworking people that came upon hard times financially when their pet had an illness or injury that treatment is outside of what they could afford, a senior citizen or U.S. veteran that is on a fixed income, a disabled adult or child’s service dog, or a person that has high medical bills due of their own when their dog or cat became injured or sick. Often, a person might have acquired a dog or cat prior to his or her becoming disabled. Until you are in their position you cannot understand how hard it was for these people to apply for assistance. We at Paws 4 A Cure, and all recipients, are forever grateful to the many supporters who have so generously contributed to help pets in need receive their much-needed medical care. For those who might not have donated for the reason above, we hope that our explanation will help to clarify and will encourage you to be a part of this amazing group of Paws 4 A Cure supporters who step up to help these beloved fur babies to enjoy more quality time with their loving families. There will always be a need and a time to lend someone a hand by helping them through a painfully difficult time. Won't you join us in our mission to help as many as we can? We promise you that it will warm your heart. Thank you for taking the time to read this important notice.
