The
Chandler Fund is a special medical fund set up by ARF, Inc. to help
special need cockers that require medical needs far above what our
regular rescue account can provide funds for. Most of the donations from
the Chandler Fund will be used when a cocker needs to be seen by a
specialist or needs heartworm treatment. These types of medical issues
are the ones that drain our regular account. However, we at ARF are
committed to helping the special need/senior cockers. Rescue is not all
about saving the young, healthy ones. We want to make a difference for
the seniors and special need cockers. We at ARF, Inc. feel they deserve
a life just like the younger ones and do not deserve to be put to sleep
because they are older or have special medical needs.
The Chandler Fund is
a medical fund set up in honor of a very special ARF rescue Chandler.
Chandler was dumped into the shelter heartworm positive and blind from
cataracts. After being rescued by ARF, Chandler was treated for
heartworms, given his shots, neutered and then, as the FIRST benefactor
of the Chandler Fund, he had cataract surgery and his eyesight has
been restored! Chandler is loving life today and sends plenty of cocker
kisses to everyone for giving him a most precious gift...the gift of
sight! This fund, set up in his honor, will be an ongoing fund and will
go on to help many more cockers!
These
cockers have been helped medically because of YOUR generous donations to
the Chandler Fund and participation in our raffles to benefit this fund!
They all want to say "THANK YOU!" for giving them the second chance they
needed. They are all now living a wonderful life in their forever
homes!!!!!
