We've all either been there ourselves or witnessed this happen to someone we know. A furry friend falls ill or injured and the estimate to treat the animal is far too steep for the owner. No one should ever have to hear that they have to euthanize their pet simply because they can't afford the necessary treatment. That's the mentality of Action for Animals, a non-profit based in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Their mission is

...to contribute financial aid to approved applicants to help pay for procedures, hospitalization, medication, veterinary follow-ups, and emergency animal services to realize the full recovery of the owner's pet.

This past weekend the organization hosted an event at Brady's Restaurant in Boothbay Harbor to give out information and raise money for the cause. Underhound Railroad was there too with a bunch of adoptable dogs.
