Ebbet’s Tail – Help deserving individuals and families with veterinary costs. (click to read more)
The doctors at our partner hospital VERG of Brooklyn are put in a very difficult situation when they are working with individuals and families who are unable to afford the state-of-the-art and life-saving services they provide to treat ill and injured animals. Due to unfortunate economic and hardship circumstances, at least two clients per week cannot afford the treatments offered and must make the heart-wrenching decision to either relinquish the ownership of their animals to VERG, take them home sick and/or injured without treatment, or to euthanize them.
Positive Tails understands the importance of the human/animal bond and how deeply people love their animals despite going through times of unfortunate financial hardships – the mission of Ebbet’s Tail is to help these individuals and animals-in-need with the hopes that in the future, our grantees will pay-it-forward and pass on their good fortune to others.
