Behind every number is a pet who got another chance. 🐾💛

For 20 years, FACE Foundation has helped families access lifesaving veterinary care when the cost of an unexpected emergency felt impossible.

That means more time together. More walks, belly rubs, couch cuddles, purrs, tail wags, and memories that almost didn’t get the chance to happen.

And our work continues.

Every donation, share, partnership, and person who learns about FACE helps us be there for the next family who needs us.

💛 Because pets are family, and financial hardship shouldn’t have to mean saying goodbye.

It happened in an instant. Sweet 2-year-old Lily accidentally ran through hot oil on the stove, suffering severe second and third-degree burns to all four paws, her legs, and tummy.

For weeks, her family brought her back to the veterinarian every other day for wound care, bandage changes, medication soaks, and pain management. They did everything they could to get their girl the care she needed, but as Lily’s treatment continued, the veterinary bills became more than they could manage alone.

That’s when they turned to FACE. 💛

Through every appointment and bandage change, Lily’s sweet spirit has remained. She still gives kisses, asks for cuddles, chats with her family, and snuggles with her big brother, Patrick.

Her family has carried Lily this far. Now, we can help carry her the rest of the way.

Your gift can help Lily continue receiving the care she needs until the pain and bandages are finally behind her.

🐾❤️‍🩹 A second chance for Wave. A lasting impact because of Lana Hock and the Baird Foundation 💛

At just six months old, Wave faced a frightening medical emergency when a recurring re**al prolapse required lifesaving surgery. After already exhausting their financial resources to get him the care he needed, his family was devastated to learn he would need a second procedure they simply couldn’t afford.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Lana Hock and the Baird Foundation, FACE was able to provide a life-saving pledge, giving Wave the opportunity to receive the urgent colopexy surgery he needed.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that Wave is recovering beautifully. His family recently shared this wonderful update:

“Wave is doing great! He’s eating normally, feeling much better, and getting back to his old self. We’re so happy with how he’s doing, and he has a recheck scheduled next week to make sure he continues to recover well.” ❤️🏡

Lana’s generous Fund a Need gift, matched by the Baird Foundation, is helping pets like Wave receive critical emergency veterinary care when their families need it most.

FACE Executive Director Kerstin Lynam was honored to accept Lana’s generous gift alongside Lana and her beloved rescue, Sasha (Baja) Banks ✨ a seven-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a heart as big as her smile and a love for Wag N' Purr Shop 💛 Resale Boutique accessories.

Lana, thank you for believing that every pet deserves a chance to heal. Your compassion is giving families hope during some of their most difficult moments and making happy endings like Wave’s possible.

Together, we’re saving pets and helping families. 💛🐾
