The Roscoe Fund

Helping pets in need.

The Roscoe Fund was created to help assist owners with animals in need of emergency medical treatment.  The funds goal is to help reduce suffering in animals that might otherwise remain untreated for purely economic reasons.

The Roscoe Fund began when Paul Hendrickson donated money in honor of his beloved poodle Roscoe, to be used to help other pets. Since then, several others have opened their hearts to donate to the fund in memory of a pet or other loved one.

Midnight Sun Animal Hospital + Emergency Care is proud to be affiliated with The Roscoe Fund.  Our hospital is one of the two veterinary practices in the Anchorage area where animals in need of emergency care may qualify for financial assistance from the Roscoe Fund.

Happy Endings…

Your generosity can help pets like “Purrty,” a cat with amazing survival skills.

Firemen were desperately trying to put out a trailer fire when they heard piercing cries from the bathroom, the most badly burned room in the house. Purrty had taken shelter in the toilet! Her decision saved her life; other pets in the house were not so fortunate. Despite her incredible survivor spirit, Purrty could not continue to survive without medical help. She had inhaled too much smoke, and endured too much heat.

Purrty’s family were also suffering the loss of their home, their security. Without the help of THE ROSCOE FUND, Purrty might not have lived to reflect on the meaning of “nine lives”.

If you love a pet, you can imagine the anguish of families like Purrty’s. Consider a gift to such a family and their pets by considering a donation to THE ROSCOE FUND, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering of our companion animals.
