Adam's Legacy Emergency FundAdam's Legacy Emergency Fund is established in memory of Adam Orebaugh. Adam was a dear friend and true warrior for both people and their pets. Adam had the biggest heart to match his big smile. Adam was instrumental in helping end breed specific legislation in Whitehall and he worked to help other communities to do the same. Adam was a big part of starting a shelter diversion program at Franklin County Dog Shelter to help owners obtain the resources to keep their dogs and also to be an advocate for dogs to make it out of the shelter into loving homes. Adam was also a founding member of Worthington Organized Offleash Friends, a group formed to create the Worthington Dog Park. He was a founding member of Help Fido, a group devoted to providing services to keep pets in their homes
Economic hardships can prevent people from caring for the animals they love. When circumstances threaten the bonds between people and their pets, Adam's Legacy Emergency Fund is here to help.
The goal of the program is to help animals who need immediate veterinary care to survive. Grant decisions are based upon several factors, including: medical urgency, financial need, available funding, pet eligibility and pet owner financial status. |
