Fur Kids Foundation

Fur Kids Foundation Providing education & aid to promote the well-being of families with animals in Campbell County, WY. A like is not an endorsement.

Most families can cope with the financial commitment involved in the day to day care of fur kids. However, those that demonstrate a need are faced with a much bigger issue when their pet is ill or injured, and has to be taken to the vet. We know that you don't want your fur kid to suffer because medical care is out of reach. All too often animals suffer needlessly or are put down because expensive

veterinary bills. Created in November 2011, the Fur Kids Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides education and aid to promote the well-being of families with animals in Campbell County, Wyoming. Fur Kids Foundation is the only organization in Northeastern Wyoming that provides assistance to residents in Campbell County, Wyoming—so you are helping your neighbors and friends, and maybe family, when you donate to the Foundation. From September 2012-December 2021, the Foundation has assisted over 1,000 families and granted more than $202,000 in aid.

In November, the Fur Kids Foundation Board of Directors gathered to reflect on the remarkable impact we’ve had on our community and discuss what lies ahead for this vital organization.

We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Since 2011, with the incredible support of our community, Fur Kids Foundation has granted more than $313,000 to help families provide emergency veterinary care for their beloved pets. However, we now stand at a crossroads; without an infusion of new community members on our team, we are facing dissolving the Foundation.

Your involvement is more important than ever.

Our board members and volunteers have given tirelessly of their time and energy, with many serving far beyond the average tenure of two to six years. While their dedication has been unwavering, life brings changes—new family responsibilities, job shifts, moves, or simply the need for a break. As some of our long-standing board members prepare to step away, it’s clear that fresh energy and new perspectives are essential to sustain and grow Fur Kids Foundation.

We are incredibly grateful for the financial support and encouragement we’ve received from our community over the years. But to ensure we continue providing critical assistance to families and their pets, we NEED new board members and volunteers who share our passion and are ready to lead us into the future.

What We’re Looking For.

For 2025, our focus is on recruiting compassionate, skilled individuals to join our team, while continuing our mission. Together, we’ll shape the next chapter of Fur Kids Foundation. Whether you’re interested in joining our working board or volunteering for a specific initiative, your skills and energy can make a lasting impact.
Here’s how you can contribute:

Take Applications: Provide compassionate and empathetic case management confidentially to families with pets in our community. This includes day-to-day interactions with vet clinics and those who need help with emergency veterinary care.
Create and Chair Events: Develop new fundraising opportunities or take the lead on established ones.

Volunteer at Events: Lend a hand at fundraisers or community outreach initiatives.
Join Committees: Share your expertise in areas like marketing, volunteer recruitment, finance, or grant writing.

Write Grant Proposals: Help secure funding to continue our mission.
If you have experience in case management, fundraising, finance, marketing, leadership, or simply a love for pets and a desire to make a difference, we want to hear from you!

Let’s Chat

Please complete the application online at www.furkidsfoundation.org/board-and-volunteer-application.html to learn more about how you can help shape the future of Fur Kids Foundation; or contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Whether you want to serve on our working board, lead a committee, or volunteer your time and talents, we’d love to hear from you and discuss how we can work together to make a difference in our community.

The future of Fur Kids Foundation depends on the passion and dedication of people like you. Together, we can ensure that no pet is left without care when it’s needed most.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
With gratitude,
Your Fur Kids Foundation Board of Directors

This little girl is Kanga, a 10-month-old Chihuahua, and today's

Kanga is all puppy, and like most puppies, gets into things she shouldn't. Kanga ended up eating three grapes. Kanga's mom knows how toxic grapes are for dogs, especially little tiny ones like Kanga, so she reached out to FKF to see if we could help get Kanga into the vet.

Kanga's mom doesn't have a lot of disposable income, and she was heartbroken knowing she didn't have the funds to pay for a visit and anything needed. We were more than happy to help.

Kanga had blood work done and everything looked fine. Hopefully this curious puppy doesn't get into things she shouldn't in the future.

This feisty feline is Mr. Scratchy, and he's today's .

Mr. Scratchy's mom recently changed jobs and had other life events come up, but was in the process of building back up her savings account. Mr. Scratchy's mom calls him "the love of her life" so you can imagine how how upset she was when it was clear that Mr. Scratchy was having issues walking.

Mr. Scrachy's mom reached out to FKF to see if we could help a visit to see if she can help her favorite boy. Luckily, nothing too serious is wrong with him, nothing some meds and pain relievers can't help with. He'll hopefully slow down on his feisty shenanigans and will be back to feeling better in no time.

This is Precious, a 12-year-old kitty cat, and today's .

Precious suddenly stopped eating and her face began to swell. Her mom was very worried about Precious, but was going through some life changes, and had no savings for a vet visit. Her mom reached out to FKF to see if we could help her sweet old girl get to feeling better.

The vet found infected teeth and broken teeth, and Precious will feel better once they are all removed. Her mom is saving up to cover her portion of the bill, and until then has meds to help with infection and pain relief. Precious will be feeling better in no time!

Every year around holidays we receive applications for assistance for dogs with pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a serious illness in dogs that can damage their organs.

While it's fun to give your pup special treats, high fat foods, including ham and other pork products, can cause pancreatitis. So it's best to be safe and not give them any new, unknown treats over the holidays.

This good ol' boy is Courage, a 6-year-old Red Bone Coonhound, and today's .

Out of nowhere, Courage began limping. His dad, who has one income in the home and does his best to care for his pets, was watching Courage to see if he would start to feel better. After a few days of Courage still limping, he reached out to FKF to see if we could help with a vet visit. We were happy to help.

Courage, luckily, did not have a break. Just like us, muscles can be pulled, inflammation occurs, and you don't know how or why. Courage was put on some meds to help with the pain and his dad will continue to monitor him to make sure he improves.

This handsome boy is Scarecrow, a 15-month-old Presa Canario, and today's

Scarecrow's family has a budget for vet visits, but his mom had a baby, resulting in missing work and pay. After Scarecrow was neutered, his incision started showing signs of a hematoma, that usually heals on its own. A few days later, his incision opened and it was clear there was some type of infection.

Scarecrow's parents reached out to us for help, and we were more than happy to help Scarecrow get back to feeling better. He was put on meds and will make a full recovery.
