Orthodogs' Silver Lining Foundation — Welcome!

OSLF's Third Annual "Celebration of Life" Event

Thank you for helping to make our "Celebration the Seniors" fundraiser a success!

Our final tally is $3,311.

Thanks so very much to everyone for supporting us. We received so many wonderful tributes — if you haven't had a chance to read all of them, visit the 2008 Celebration of Life page.

Our Mission

Orthodogs' Silver Lining Foundation (OSLF) was created to serve as a place of hope for owners and/or caretakers of orthopedically challenged dogs. Our goal is to provide access to fundraising resources and to make emergency funds available for exceptional cases.

Silver's Cause, a unique fund created specifically for service dogs, will provide financial assistance for any medical problem that these special companions may face. Silver's Cause will help to ensure that the relationship between a disabled person and their partner will not be threatened by costly medical expenses.

It is the Foundation's hope that the efforts of OSLF will ease the financial burden that many families and/or guardians are often faced with, and that no dog will go without treatment or be without a home simply because of their extraordinary circumstances.


PLEASE FENCE ME IN

Coming soon!

Keep an eye out for our upcoming initiative, "Please Fence Me In", which will encourage and educate pet owners on responsible ownership.

We'll have educational articles, tips, new merchandise, etc.

ACTIVE CASES

Please take a moment to visit our Pets In Need page — we have several dogs with us who very much deserve a helping hand.

Thanks to your generous support, we now have many dogs on our Success Stories page. Congratulations to all of OSLF's Success Story dogs and their families, and thanks to all of you who helped make it possible!

WE'RE IN THE PRESS!

Thanks to the super-human efforts of Amy and Simone, our Press Relations volunteers, we've had so much interest lately that we've added an OSLF In the Press section to the website.

We've received several mentions in both print and television—have a look!

Silver at the water

Orthodogs' Silver Lining Foundation was inspired by Silver, and by Andria's dedication to her very special partner and assistance dog.

We hope that you will also be inspired, and join us in our efforts.
