Dr. Christa Young loved all animals. In her memory, we created the Dr. Christa Young Memorial Angel Fund. Our goal is to show all pets the love that Dr. Young showed all of her patients. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford a veterinary emergency, and pets get themselves in to terrible situations all the time. Even the most prepared owner is not always financially able to help. The Angel Fund is intended to help in these sorts of situations. The Dr. Christa Young Memorial Angel Fund is partnered with The Veterinary Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation.The Angel Fund established strict guidelines to ensure that only the most deserving pets receive funds towards their treatment resulting from emergencies and unexpected, sudden illnesses. All pets who receive funds for their treatment must have a good prognosis from the veterinarian which indicates that the pet will likely fully recover.Bellalago Veterinary Hospital covers all overhead costs for the charitable fund allowing 100% of every donation to be used for helping deserving pets. The Angel Fund works in partnership with The Veterinary Care Foundation whose mission is to provide charitable funding to veterinarians and animal caregivers to facilitate veterinary care for sick and injured animals and to educate the public regarding proper care and treatment of animals.
