Mission Statement
Emma's Foundation will provide resources, referrals and funding for canine cancer care. EFFCC will work to heighten canine cancer awareness, provide resources and to provide financial funding to pet owners who do not have the financial ability to pay for the canine cancer treatment of their beloved pet. Our focus is on sparing or prolonging the life of our canine friends, by assisting with financial support.
“Its unfortunate yet comforting that something like cancer can bring people together to do such wonderful things….”

About Us and More Important About Emma:
I will never ever forget the day when our vet told us that the growth in Emma's jaw was “cancer”. We refused to believe what she was telling us, this was just incomprehensible to us, it couldn't be happening to our sweet little girl. I spent hours upon hours on the web researching diseases in dogs, cancers, tumors, benign tumors, and looking for anything that would help me to prove to our vet that this wasn't cancer and that she was wrong. Unfortunately I was wrong… and Ron and I were heartbroken. We followed up with 2 specialists, they could remove the jaw and that possibly could extend her life by an additional 10-12 months, maybe… but we were concerned about her quality of life. A good amount of that time would have been spent helping her to learn to eat all over again. We couldn't do it - labs loved to eat. We were not going to put her through that. Her cancer grew so rapidly that from the day of diagnosis, to the day our vet came to our home to help us say goodbye to Emma, it was 34 days. We kept her pain free as best we could, and the morning that she stopped eating, we knew it was time. Our wonderful vet came to our home and helped Emma to gently, peacefully pass over to Rainbow Bridge, where we know she is still there waiting for us to join her.

We started Emma's Foundation to keep her memory alive. We also realized what canine cancer treatment can cost. If we can make a difference in the life of even one other dog, we will have accomplished our goal. I know Emma would be proud! Emma was 10 years old and the love of our life. Through Emma's Foundation we know that together we “will” keep her memory alive, and also make a difference in the lives of our canine friends, who we so dearly love!
