The Charlie Fund

“Walnut” had no appetite, was emaciated and dehydrated, which required emergency care. With antibiotics and treatment for an immune-related problem, as well as B-12 shots, he has improved. He gained his weight back following a slow feeding plan. This sweet dog has since become well enough to be neutered.

“Isaac” has a heart condition. He is on a daily medication to help his heart function and keep him stable. This gentle cat also has inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is managed by a prescribed diet.
The Charlie Fund provides emergency and specialized veterinary care for animals at the Oakville & Milton Humane Society (OMHS). The Charlie Fund saves animals hit by cars, caught in traps, or in need of life saving treatments and surgeries.
History of The Charlie Fund
The Charlie Fund began in 1985 when a Border Collie came into OMHS, with a leg too badly damaged to save. A fundraising campaign was needed to raise money for the necessary surgery. “Charlie” recovered and was adopted by a wonderful family and he lived a long and happy life.
The need for “emergency medical funds” lived on and a fundraising campaign was started. Over the past 36 years, this special fund has grown from saving a few animals a year to more than 100 annually.
How is the Charlie Fund funded?
The Charlie Fund is possible solely through donations. Your gift makes it possible to provide the emergency and specialized treatment of the neediest animals at OMHS. Every dollar makes a difference.
Your gift to the Charlie Fund is the gift of life, the gift of time to heal and the gift of hope for a home.
