About the The American Veterinary Medical Foundation:

 America The Beautiful was originally recorded to benefit the AVMF.

The American Veterinary Medical Foundation equips and prepares VMAT teams like those in New York and provides aid to all veterinarians who treat animals injured in disasters.

The AVMF has supported animal disaster relief since 1996. The AVMF relies on the generosity of dedicated pet owners, veterinarians and corporations who are concerned about the well being of animals.

Their ability to respond to critical challenges and promote care for animals is in direct proportion to the support they receive.Please join us in this worthy cause to help veterinarians help the lives of innocent animals. Funds not utilized in New York will be applied to preparedness and relief in future disasters.

Veterinarians in New York, Washington, and surrounding areas will receive aid to replace medical supplies used to treat animals harmed in September 11th's attacks and/or search and rescue dogs injured in the course of their duties.

The world as we know it changed forever on September 11, 2001. Please help the AVMF (American Veterinary Medical Foundation) meet the immediate needs of animals in New York and help us better prepare veterinarians to best meet the needs of animals injured, displaced, or affected by future disasters – be they natural or man-made. Thank you!
