Join the “ACAAF Dog Jog” at Foster Park on August 20th at 10:00 am. to support the Allen County Area Assistance Fund.
The Allen County Area Assistance Fund was started in conjunction with the Purdue Foundation after a personal experience taking our dog Mazie to Purdue Small Animal Hospital.
Last year, our four-year-old maltipoo, Mazie, became very ill. After numerous veterinary visits, we were advised to take her to the Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Small Animal Hospital. Mazie was immediately evaluated by the emergency staff that night and spent two days undergoing testing and treatment. Unfortunately, we were devastated that our Mazie passed away, but found comfort in knowing that we did everything we could to give her the best care possible.
We were glad that we did not make decisions based on cost during Mazie’s final days, rather we did what we felt would be best for her. We know that not everyone has the luxury of taking finances out of their pet’s health care decision-making and this experience made us want to do something to help other people and their beloved pets who are faced with a similar situation.
The “ACAAF Dog Jog” is an event to raise funds for the Allen County Area Assistance Fund, which will provide the opportunity for financial assistance to pet owners in Allen County and the surrounding area who require specialty treatment at the Purdue University Small Animal Hospital. We ask for your support of this event in memory of our Mazie and to help others.
