ABOUT THE SERGEI FOUNDATION The Sergei Foundation, Inc. serves people and their sick and injured pets in North Carolina. It was founded in September 2009 and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Named after the founder s Siberian Husky, The Sergei Foundation was founded with the mission of saving companion pets lives by providing veterinary financial assistance to families unable to afford emergency, life-saving care. Applicants must meet income criteria and show a history of past vet care for the pet. Established to provide unique and unparalleled services in its programs, most rescues or other animal welfare non-profits do not provide funding for pet care once the animal has been adopted and labeled a companion pet. If they do provide funding, it is minimal, typically does not cover diagnostics, and is not enough to save a pet from a truly life-threatening illness or injury, especially when surgery is needed. There is an unanswered need for veterinary financial assistance for lower to moderate-income pet owners, especially for those families who cannot afford diagnostics before proper veterinary treatment can be performed. The Sergei Foundation was formed to serve this great need and prevent the unfavorable alternative of unnecessary euthanasia. In eight years of operation, The Sergei Foundation has served thousands of people and has aided them in saving their pets lives, just like the few shown on this page. Visit SergeiFoundation.org to read about the success stories of these and other pets that have been helped! All revenue for program funding comes from individual and business donations, including your sponsorship to Triad Dog Games. Thank you again for everything, not just financial but also the emotional support you gave was worth so much to me. I m not sure I would have made it through all of this without it! ~ Amber
