Saving and Changing Lives
Orphan Fund
Since its establishment, The Orphan Fund has benefited countless pets, funded by the generous donations of our community and the dedication of our hospital staff.
The Orphan Fund at Bristol County Veterinary Hospital was founded with one mission in mind: saving and changing lives.
Established in 1988 by Dr. Amy Hurd, The Orphan Fund was originally created to give an alternative option to euthanasia for families who could not afford costly medical care for their animals. Our hospital would then provide the necessary medical care and a safe, temporary home prior to placing the animal with their new forever family.
Since its establishment, The Orphan Fund has benefited countless homeless cats, dogs, and even the occasional small exotic pet, funded solely by the generous donations of our community and the dedication of our hospital staff.

Our hospital team will occasionally hold events to raise funds for animals in need of our care. Please check out our Facebook Page to see when our next event will be held!
