On July 24, animal advocates will be participating in VHS's Because They Matter fundraising and outreach event to distribute pet supplies to humans and their animals who spend their days on the streets of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES). VHS will also be sharing information with the pet guardians we meet about accessing veterinary assistance funding through VHS's McVitie Fund and Helping Women and Pets in Crisis Programs.
Tia is one of the beautiful animals the VHS team met during last year's event.
Help raise $15,000 for animals in need
Your generous donation today toward the Because They Matter fundraiser will provide veterinary care support to many sick and injured animals in need.
The demand for these programs is growing exponentially. Thanks to the kindness of animal lovers, the VHS's programs have provided assistance to more than 400 pets with veterinary procedures ranging from treatment for an infection to surgery for a bowel obstruction in the first half of 2022. That is as many animals as were helped in all of 2021, which was itself a record year. Your support will make it possible to meet this growing need.
Right now, Securiguard and an anonymous donor are matching all donations made toward the VHS's Because They Matter fundraiser up to $5,000!
