Emergency Vet Care Program
The Mercy Fund Emergency Vet Care Program is underway, and we have our first monthly donor! This program will assist people get their animals care at any veterinarian's office for emergency needs or euthanasia. Having the funds on hand and assuring the vet we can pay upfront will save a lot of time and suffering for the animals and their humans. An Interesting fact is that this is the exact way Mercy Animal Rescue was born--we started with an emergency fund. If you are interested in donating to this program either one time or monthly, please message us for information on how to do so. Please know we will help everyone as much as possible with the need, and we will keep everyone up on everyone we help. Records can be supplied to any donor just by asking.

Community Food Bank
We will be having our Pet Food Bank at St. John's once monthly now on the third Thursday of each month only until our donations allow for having it twice monthly once more. Many thanks to our monthly donors of pet food and money. We hope more of you can commit to this program so that we can go back to giving pet food out twice monthly.
You can support our food bank in the following ways:
1) Donate bags of food: drop off at Animal Hospital of Marion or ship to 167 Burleson Rd., Marion, NC 28752
2) Donate money: Paypal mercyfundseniors@yahoo.com , Cash app $joyharklerode, Checks PO Box 2371, Marion, NC 28752
3) If you work for a business or run a business, do a food drive with employees
Any amount of food feeds a hungry animal and helps their human as well. Many seniors choose between their food or needed meds and dog or cat food for their animals. With this program, we strive to keep beloved pets in their loving homes and off the streets or in the shelter. Please help us continue this much-needed service to our community. A heartfelt thank you.
