Meet FETCH a Cure’s Companions in Crisis…

The Companions in Crisis fund provides financial assistance to families unable to bear the cost of the life-saving treatments for their pets that have been diagnosed with cancer. This program strives to provide pet owners with a sense of hope when facing a cancer diagnosis.

Whether it’s two months or two years, the additional time to spend with one of your best friends is something to be treasured. FETCH a Cure hopes to give you the gift of time with your beloved pet.

Joey, Age 11

Ralph, Age 7

Diagnosis: Lymphoma

Treatment Plan: Chemotherapy

Ralph is a seven-year old beagle mix with lymphoma. Ralph was adopted by Dennis and Olivia after he spent the first four and a half years of his life chained up outside with about 40 other dogs.
