Neighbors Helping Neighbors
The Seaside Angel Fund helps cover emergency and essential veterinary costs for Satellite Beach pet owners facing financial hardship. It is supported entirely by donations from our community. Let's keep quality pet care local, without having to go over the bridge.
About the Fund
What Is an Angel Fund?
An angel fund is a charitable resource that helps pet owners afford veterinary care during financial hardship. For Seaside, it means a neighbor's emergency vet bill doesn't have to mean losing a family member.
Our Mission
To help pets in our community receive the veterinary care their families could not otherwise afford, keeping quality care close to home, so financial hardship never has to mean giving up on a pet's health.
Our Vision
Every pet in Satellite Beach deserves access to essential veterinary care. The Seaside Angel Fund exists to close that gap for local families, one case at a time.
Process
How It Works
Donations are processed through the Veterinary Care Foundation (VCF), a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation. Seaside Veterinary Clinic is a registered member practice.
- 1 Community donations are made securely through the Veterinary Care Foundation and support Seaside's Angel Fund.
- 2 Because funds are limited, our care team identifies and discusses eligibility with clients individually, rather than through open application.
- 3 Approved funds are applied directly to the cost of care. No funds are given directly to clients.
- 4 100% of contributions go toward pet care at Seaside.
Eligibility

The Angel Fund provides assistance for Satellite Beach-area pet owners facing significant financial hardship.

If you're facing a veterinary cost you're struggling to manage, let your care team know.
Assistance for Hardship Cases in the Satellite Beach Community
