PURPOSE:
The Last Chance Club provides and promotes affordable, high quality
veterinary care for small animals in a Shelter or rescue situation. Shelter
veterinary medicine is a developing field. Many humane societies and
dog control agencies have staff veterinarians. These vets can provide
good basic care but a higher level of aid is often needed -- surgical or
medical rescue.
We see this type of care in "newspaper headline" stories where thousands
of dollars can be raised to help an individual animal. The Last Chance
Club focuses on bringing medical care to as wide a rescue population
as is possible on a routine basis. Aided by "bare bones" costs for supplies
and donated professional time for vet services, animals with treatable
conditions can be helped and adopted rather than being euthanized.
