About Us

Orthodogs' Silver Lining was started by a small group of people who wanted to find a way to provide some relief for caregivers who were struggling to help their pets lead a healthy life. Through our personal experiences, having met via the Yahoo group called 'Orthodogs', we understood the particular difficulties of providing orthopedic care. Through the experiences of those close to us, we understood that companions of service dogs often face unimaginable hardships in trying to provide healthcare for their amazing canines. Our goal is to provide access to fundraising resources, and make emergency funds available for exceptional cases.

OSLF is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization. Thank you for viewing our site, and we hope you'll consider joining us in our efforts.

OSLF Supporters

OSLF is able to operate because of the generosity of our supporters. Though we hope to obtain additional funding sources in the future, OSLF does not at this time receive any money through grants or corporate sponsors, so all of our funding comes directly from individual donations from pet lovers around the world. We are very grateful to all of our Supporters for their continuing support.
