Dare to Care Campaign Raises $700K For Pets In Need

VALHALLA, NY — Veterinary Emergency Group, the world’s veterinary emergency company that helps people and their pets when they need it most, held a month-long Dare to Care campaign to support VEG Cares and raise funds for underserved pets across the U.S.A.

The campaign kicked off Sept. 1 in San Ramon, California, and ended in the Hudson Valley with a celebratory pet-friendly 5K walk/run at Westchester Community College.

“Dare to Care is a celebration of our VEGgies coming together and giving back to local communities and their pets in need,” said Dr. David Bessler, founder and CEO of VEG. “The month-long celebration will also allow our VEGgies to support other causes that they are passionate about.”

VEG Cares is VEG’s charitable program that provides life-saving care to pets in need at all VEG hospitals, including pets with families facing financial distress, animals displaced by natural disasters, police, service & fire animals, and animals under the care of a shelter or rescue organization. VEG partners with the 501(c)(3) Veterinary Care Foundation to collect donations and distribute funds to those that need it most.

Additionally, pet-lovers have the opportunity to support and donate to VEG Cares. To learn more, please click here.
