How It All Started
When Wendy graduated from veterinary school she and Steve decided that instead of graduation gifts they wanted to start the Lupine Fund. They asked family and friends to make a donation if possible; and voila…the Lupine fund was started. We have started out small, but hope to grow into an organization that is continually replenished by those who have been helped and those who are touched by our mission.
Why We Started the Fund
THE hardest part of being a veterinarian is knowing that you CAN save an animal, but not being able to because the owner does not have the money. We firmly believe that everyone deserves the joy of a pet in their lives, no matter what your financial story. Most vets would love to be able to give services away or charge lower prices in these cases, but this is not usually financially feasible. It is a heart wrenching scenario, and one that happens time and time again. So really, we started Lupine’s Fund so that we can help families in need.
