The League’s Special Funds

The Washington Animal Rescue League maintains numerous funds to support different aspect of animal rescue and protection.  Gifts to these funds are designated to provide critical support for these promising endeavors.

Love Fund

The Love Fund provides medical care for seriously sick and injured animals.  Some of these are shelter animals.  Others are the pets of low-income guardians who cannot afford the cost of major veterinary treatments.  Without the help of the Love Fund, these caring guardians would have no other choice but to surrender their sick or injured companion to a shelter for euthanasia.  Each year the fund assists hundreds of animals suffering from fractures, infectious diseases, gunshot wounds and other life-threatening conditions.  Donate to the Love Fund.

Hope Fund for Dogs

By providing adopters of special dogs with life-long medical support and other incentives, the Hope Fund aids in the adoption of harder-to-place dogs.  These include older dogs, dogs with chronic but manageable health problems, and dogs with disabilities.  Donate to the Hope Fund for Dogs.

The Silver Whiskers Club for Cats

The Silver Whiskers Club helps older and special needs cats find loving homes by paying the adoption fees and providing their adopters with all the equipment their new companions need.  It also provides free lifetime medical care at the League's Medical Center. Donate to the Silver Whiskers Club.
