Why are donations necessary?
Each year, over 300 stray animals needing emergency treatment are brought to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine’s 24-hour emergency facility by Good Samaritans who care deeply for animals in need. We provide emergency services, critical care, testing, and ICU to these homeless animals who often stay for days or weeks as they heal.
The cost of treating these animals approaches $70,000 per year, a cost we absorb as part of our mission to heal. Funds raised through this event are used to offset the cost of treatment for these animals in need.
Your gift will help us care for more injured, sick, and homeless animals in our community. Thank you for helping us help animals in need!
