FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Cumberland County Animal Services is asking the community for donations to support its animal medical fund. This fund is crucial in providing financial assistance for emergency veterinary care for animals in need, especially those requiring specialized treatments that go beyond the scope of in-house veterinarian services.

The emergency fund ensures animals in the care of the County receive necessary medical attention including surgeries, treatments for serious injuries, and other critical care. Donations directly impact the lives of these animals, offering them a second chance at a healthy, happy life.

"This fund is a lifeline for so many animals that come through our doors,” said Elaine Smith, Director of Cumberland County Animal Services “It allows us to provide urgent care and gives the animals in need a chance at recovery and finding their forever homes.”
