OCEAN Grove charity Cherished Pets Foundation has a dream to make the world a better place and they need the community\u2019s vote to make it happen.<\/p>\n
The foundation is one of six groups from across Australia shortlisted to receive a $5,000 grant from Sunsuper\u2019s Dreams for a Better World program.<\/p>\n
The more votes Cherished Pets get, the more chance they have of winning these funds to support local, elderly and disabled community members and their beloved animals.<\/p>\n
Cherished Pets Foundation provides in-home pet care assistance with volunteers to help with dog walking, pet grooming, transporting pets to the vet and pet respite care when owners are unwell or move into residential care.<\/p>\n
Their community vet nurses visit pets in their home and the Foundation provides financial assistance to pet owners unable to cover unexpected veterinary expenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur foundation exists to ensure that the benefits of healthy companion pets are accessible to all people, especially elderly folk and those people living with disabilities,\u201d Cherished Pets founder Dr Alicia Kennedy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis grant of $5,000 would further support our ongoing social veterinary work in our region.\u201d<\/p>\n
