About The Last Chance (TLC) Fund

This fund is administered by the Pennsylvania Veterinary Foundation (PVF) and was established in 2009 to help ensure a source of funding for the care of abused or neglected, unowned companion animals that might otherwise be euthanized or turned over to an animal shelter that is already overburdened.

We see the TLC Fund as a true partnership between veterinary practices, their clients, other pet owners, and the animal loving public that will result in the emergency care and necessary treatment of animals who might not get the proper care without this fund.

How much does it cost?

Adult 5K Run	$30.00
Adult 1-Mile Walk	$30.00
Child 5K Run (ages 3-11)	$15.00
