3 Years ago, our dear Poh the Dog passed on. By the time of his passing, his story had amassed him over 150,000 followers on instagram alone. Through our journey together, we learned all about what it is like to take care of a senior animal. We learned of all these great treatments from fellow dog owners, that could help Poh live out his last days in comfort. We started Poh on acupuncture, water therapy, laser therapy. With these great treatments, we were able to reverse Poh's "irreversible" kidney failure.
Through social media, we had come across a great community of dog lovers. His instagram page became a platform to share all the knowledge that we gained about senior dog care. So, we started the #PohFund, with his very special veterinary hospital here in NYC The Animal Medical Center of NY (AMCNY) with his primary doctor Dr. Alvarez. The point of the fund was and is - to provide financial relief for fellow senior pet (not just dogs !) owners whose special animals could use the palliative care that our dear Poh received.
We had a goal, to collect $100,000 before the actual fund would go "live". This threshold was set, because the hospital did not want to be caught running out of funds in the case of a patient who needed long term extensive and expensive treatment.
But recently... we got the OK for this fund to start being used !! Finally, our fund in Poh the Dog's name is going live, and will actually be used to help a fellow Senior Pup!
Because of this, the fund will now need to start being replenished... or our impact in Poh the dog's memory will be very short-lived 🙁
Enter our dear friend, @aaronfreas who has many times in the past helped us keep the memory of our
dear #pohthedog alive. We will be raffling off another one of his great art pieces in remembrance of his passing on Feb 12th 2016.
Each Raffle ticket will cost $5 dollars - Enter as many times as you wish, the more the merrier :)!!
100% of the proceeds raised from this contest will go directly to the Poh Fund.
Aaron has a very modest and attainable goal of raising $100 dollars for the Poh Fund... BUT I'm sure with your help and sharing his efforts via social media we can do much much more !! We hope you can help us and Aaron have a successful fundraiser in honor of Poh the dog!
