How it Works

Shakespeare Animal Fund can be contacted through our crisis hotline (775) 342-7040 or by email at theshakefund@aol.com.

​

Once the SAF coordinator makes contact and determines the pet owner's eligibility, the pet owner is contacted and advised to select a veterinarian. 

Once approved, SAF sends a letter to your vet detailing how much we will pay toward treatment. After the pet is seen, the owner signs a visit confirmation which is returned to SAF.  We will pay your veterinarian directly to reduce your out of pocket costs.
