Episode 04 - Brown Dog Foundation

Brown Dog Foundation

 

Carol Smock

 

 

Today we bring you Carol Smock, Founder/CEO of the Brown Dog Foundation, an organization founded in 2006 when she found herself in a devastating situation - her beloved dog, Chocolate Chip was diagnosed with cancer again- and she had just lost her job. 

Unfortunately, this is an experience shared by too many Americans.  The Brown Dog Foundation works to bridge the gap between the cost of medical care and saving your pet.

Carol found that in an emergency vet setting, pet owners decide on average 7 times a day to euthanize their pets due to the cost of treatment.  In a typical vet setting, it happens 10-15 times a week.

The fact is, most working Americans can’t put together $400 for an emergency.  So, organizations like The Brown Dog Foundation are critical to families throughout the United States.

They have helped countless families save a beloved family pet.  Today you will hear the touching stories of two pets, Hercules and Ally, that will warm your heart.
