BirchBark’s Tree of Hope

Your generous individual contributions, added to our sponsors and matching donations, have grown our Tree of Hope to over $100,000 since the pandemic began in March.

These gifts will allow BirchBark Foundation and our partners to provide $150,000 of critical medical care for Central Coast dogs and cats in need.

Your support will help fund many life-saving, emergency situations including:

  • surgery to repair broken bones

  • critical care needed to fight infections

  • obstructions, bladder stones, and many other critical conditions


 

Thank you so much for your generosity. We couldn’t help so many pets and their families without you.

 

BirchBark Foundation was founded on the promise of hope.

Hope that in the most frightening moments of unaffordable pet emergencies, someone will be there to throw out a line to safe harbor.

Hope that animal lives will not be lost and their families will not be fractured simply due to cost.

Hope that a community will come together to protect and rescue the most vulnerable of all of us – and all of us in our most vulnerable moments.

Together with our 30 veterinary partners throughout Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties, BirchBark Foundation ensures that animals lives are not lost and the critical bond shared with their families is not broken.

BirchBark Foundation is a different kind of rescue.

Now, more than ever, we must work together with all of our friends to save and protect the most vulnerable among us. BirchBark Foundation is a unique part of the safety net that catches the most vulnerable animals and people in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

With support and love, our Tree of Hope will continue to grow.
