Supporting Pets in Need

At Bulger Veterinary Hospital, we’ve partnered with the Veterinary Care Foundation to establish the Bulger Cares Fund, a non-profit 501(c)(3) foundation dedicated to helping pet owners facing financial hardship.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward providing medical care for sick or injured animals—none of your contributions will be used for administrative fees or salaries.

How Your Donations Help

Bulger Cares funds are exclusively used for:

  • Good Samaritan cases, providing care for pets without owners.

  • Financial crisis assistance, supporting pet owners who have demonstrated significant financial need.

  • Local disaster relief, aiding pets harmed or displaced due to emergencies.

To qualify for assistance, clients must first explore all other payment options, including CareCredit, Scratch Pay, personal credit cards, and support from family or friends.

How You Can Help

When you donate to the Bulger Cares Fund, 100% of your tax-deductible gift goes directly toward the medical care of pets in need. Your generosity can make a lifesaving difference.
