I was reading a news article on MSNBC about ways to save money in caring 
for our pets. They mentioned a Helping Pets Fund by AAHA (American 
Animal Hospital Assoc.) that will help owners (on a case by case 
situation) pay for major medical procedures when the owner's are 
financial unable to cover the expenses. Each request for help seems to 
be submitted by veterinary staff to AAHA and if approved, a grant is 
given for at least partial payment of the procedure. The animal must be 
treated at an AAHA accredited clinic.

I thought this was a very interesting "find" and is not something I've 
heard of before as being available through AAHA. I do know of a similar 
program, however it is only available to Labrador Retrievers, especially 
those that are rescued or adopted from a rescue or shelter.
