A Safety Net For Pets

OSVS strives to make veterinary care affordable for every pet owner, but sadly, many pet owners simply cannot afford such care. In an effort to assist some of these owners and help keep these pets as part of their family, OSVS administers a number of assistance funds which are designed to provide financial support to clients in need. OSVS and its staff do not use any of this money for administrative costs; all donated funds go directly toward patient care.

Call to Donate

John Montanaro Oncology Fund

This fund was established following the untimely death of Rhode Island native, John Montanaro III. John’s legacy of generosity and concern for animals was forged after his own pet was diagnosed and treated for cancer at OSVS. John sadly passed away from leukemia at 19 years of age but donations to this fund will help make cancer care more affordable for some of the patients seen by our oncology service.

The John Montanaro Memorial Garden was completed in the fall of 2011 and was dedicated in the spring of 2012. It is a quiet place for owners to sit and reflect when they have a pet being treated at OSVS or to grieve following the loss of a beloved family pet.

Individuals interested in having an engraved memorial brick with their pet’s name in the memorial garden should contact Ms. Linda Adams at (401) 886-6787. The donation of $150 for the brick will go directly to the John Montanaro Oncology Fund. The engraved bricks will be placed in the garden walk at least twice yearly.
