PETlife Animal Fund

We are a donor advised fund created by our family to pay for vet bills of local Manitoba charities.

We also share photos and stories of those animals to help get them adopted. Clinton Orr and his wife Jodi started a donor-advised fund in 2020, calling it the Pet Life Animal Fund. Both Clinton and his wife are long-time animal lovers who enjoyed having multiple pets as they grew up. The couple’s story began when Clinton and Jodi adopted a sweet dog named Bubba who had a difficult time in his earl

y life. Bubba was adopted from a no-kill shelter and proved to be an incredibly loving companion. The impact that this had on Clinton and his wife inspired Jodi to become a professional dog trainer, kickstarting what would eventually become the Pet Life Animal Fund. The two decided they wanted to get more involved with rescues to help other animals find loving homes. During this time, Clinton and Jodi realized just how little budget shelters had to work with, meaning some animals may not receive the life-saving care that they need. They began donating to rescues regularly before honouring the life of Bubba by bumping up their efforts. Animals that come to the facility often need medical care to be considered for adoption. However, these bills can take a huge toll on a rescue’s already slim budget. The purpose of The Pet Life Animal Fund is to help rescues across Manitoba cover those medical costs so every animal has a shot at finding a forever home. Clinton and Jodi are dedicated to seeing every animal that passes through a rescue door find happiness and family.

💛🐾 We are thrilled to have helped many animals over the last month! 🐾💛

We understand that larger vet bills can strain rescues, causing intake freezes or months of catching up for one animal's care.

After our successful post, we must take a brief break to replenish the fund. We were contacted about so many animals in need and had a hard time saying “no.” I mean… just look at those faces! How could we say no?! So, apologies in advance if we cannot assist as many cases in the next couple of months. 🥺

I feel like I am forgetting some of the animals we helped 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I apologies if their picture is missing; it was not done on purpose!

Any large vet bills out there?

Looky! 👀

Ashur’s hair is starting to grow back in! 💛

What a handsome boy!

Ashur’s “peach fuzz” is starting to grow back in from where he had to be clipped for his surgery! We tell him he looks handsome every day ♥️ the swelling is almost completely gone from his socket and outside of a bit of skin soreness from where he was rubbing it (healing means itchy!!) ; he’s almost 100% recovered.

🌟 We had the most amazing news happen last week; we entered a TikTok “contest” of sorts for a chance to enter to have a vet bill paid off - and we, of course, chose Ashur’s recent surgery, because the total cost was over $1,000.

We not only won that opportunity and his bill was covered - but we were the only entry & they granted us an additional 💕$5,000💕 towards future vet bills!!!!

This means the world to our program, to all of us here at New Start - and most importantly, to the horses in our care. Especially with Aura’s pregnancy & the vet care she will need throughout the foaling process, this takes such a huge load of stress off of us, and allows us to keep help these amazing Standardbreds 🙏🏻♥️

So please go check them out & donate to their cause - they help so many animal charities across Canada ♥️♥️ PETlife Animal Fund

And last but not least :) Keep fighting little dude!

We will be paying off all of Carter’s medical bills that have not been already covered by other amazing people!

❤️ WE NEED SOME HELP, PLEASE ❤️

We don’t usually take on these types of cases, but when our friends at Virden Animal Hospital reached out about Carter, we decided we couldn’t say no.

Carter is a 4/5 month old lab cross puppy with the kindest and most soulful eyes you will ever see ... he melts everyone who meets him.

Carter was hit by a car and has injuries which are going to require surgery in Winnipeg. We originally thought one back leg was going to need amputation, but the surgeon believes he can fix both back legs and splint the front leg.

Dr. Carla Loewen at Virden Animal Hospital is donating her time and cost for pre surgery radiographs and care and Funds for Furry Friends is donating $1000 towards the cost of his surgery. He truly is a joint effort. 😊

We are hoping to raise $1000 to ease OAAT’s financial burden.

If you’d like to help, please etransfer to [email protected] or if you’d like a tax receipt please donate through our Canada Helps account

We thank everyone involved in Carter’s journey. 😊 ❤️

Sorry for the graphic picture! Cant wait to see a picture of Chance when he is back in fit form!

Angels of Hope did a wonderful job of raising most of the money to pay for Chance’s medical bills but we are happy to donate the last $600 needed!

*Update* thank you for the amazing suggestions! We are looking at helping four of the animals in the comments. Any further comments we will 100% look at but cannot promise anything ❤️

We want to pay some vet bills!

Looking for our next dog/cat/horse/hamster to help out!

Must be a registered charity!

Post who you think we should help out below! We love to help particular animals so post pictures and their stories below!

Update on one lucky pup!!

Mena is headed home to Manitoba after a week with the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon. Our team arrived at the college with Mena at 4:00am on Monday morning, and she had surgery on three of her limbs and pelvis on Wednesday morning.

We would like to send an incredibly large thank you to Dr. Kaustubh Dongaonkar (pictured) for overseeing Mena’s care and performing her surgery. We’d also like to thank to the rest of the veterinary team for their hospitality and accommodating Mena’s emergency trip. Mena now has a good prognosis thanks to this wonderful facility, with intensive rehabilitation starting in a couple of weeks back in Winnipeg with Head to Tail Pet Rehabilitation.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to date for Mena’s extensive surgery and care costs. To make a donation, please visit www.manitobaunderdogs.org/donate.

Please send Mena good vibes!

Donate or volunteer to help local shelters!

We received information on Mena’s confirmed injuries:
• older infected wounds
• a luxated hip
• multiple pelvic fractures
• a fractured left humerus

Mena had been laying in a pile of dirt after being hit by a car earlier in the week and was flown out to us yesterday.

We are waiting to hear back on surgery options with a board certified surgeon. For now, Mena is receiving around-the-clock care with Winnipeg Animal Emergency Hospital receiving IV pain medication and antibiotics.

For information on how to donate to Mena’s care, you can visit www.manitobaunderdogs.org/donate or send us a message. All donations over $20 receive a tax receipt.
