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.

Kubanda Cryotherapy at John Hopkins has chosen Paws 4 A Cure as their designated charitable organization to work with!

Are you in the Baltimore, Maryland area with a dog or cat with cancer? Kubanda Cryotherapy is running free clinical trials at the Center for Image Guided Animal Therapy at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD. Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that lets pets skip the scalpel. A small cryoprobe is inserted into the tumor and extreme cold is used to selectively freeze and kill the affected tissue. They are treating: Canine and Feline Mammary Cancer, Lipomas, Sarcomas, and other subcutaneous masses. Mast Cell Tumors, Osteosarcomas, and masses on the head or paws are not included in this study. Dogs and cats of any breed and sex are eligible. To connect with the study, message [email protected] or visit their website at www.KubandaCryotherapy.com to learn more about the clinical trial.

Veterinarians, are you interested but not in the greater Baltimore area? Contact [email protected] to see about becoming a pilot site in your area. This would bring more treatment options for your clients. With the high cost of oncology care, the clinical trial would help alleviate the financial burden for the pet parent so that their furchild can receive the treatment that they need.

Pet Parents, do you want to bring cryotherapy to your area? Contact [email protected]
