Keep love
alive
The Dixie Fund helps keep pets and their families together by providing help when costs of care exceed their means.
The Dixie Project focuses on Marin Humane’s Pet Safety Net Program because, as the Willey family believes, “no one should ever have to give up their beloved pet because they can’t afford pet food, veterinary care, or help with behavioral issues.”
The Dixie Fund
Keeping Love Alive
The Willey family was able to care for their beloved dog Dixie while she had multiple health needs as an elderly pet. Their goal in establishing the Dixie Fund is to enable others who do not have such resources at their disposal, to care for their pets.
“I would do it again in a heartbeat,” said Carla. “All the time and money we spent on her was to keep our family together for as long as possible. We hope this fund will help extend the quality of life for other elderly pets and their families.”
The Dixie Fund is directed to Marin Humane’s Pet Safety Net, because “no one should ever have to give up their beloved pet because they can’t afford pet food, veterinary care, or help with behavioral issues.”
The Dixie Fund is seeded with the total the Willey family would have spent for another year of her care. Their hope is that others will contribute to the fund in the name of love. Gifts may be made in honor of any pet to keep their name associated with their family.
