How It Works

The Frantz Fund provides financial assistance for veterinary clients who cannot afford to pay for basic pet medical care. The Frantz Fund will assist in paying to rabies vaccination, DHLPP vaccination, spaying or neutering surgery, medically necessary euthanasia in terminal cases, and microchip identification. All spay and neuter surgeries will be conducted by Pet Refuge ABC Clinic, 12692 Sandy Dr., Gramger, IN 46530 (574-272-7729) effective August 2011.

In order to qualify, clients must be able to show proof at the participating veterinary clinic that they are eligible for government assistance for low income individuals or families. An application will be completed by veterinary clinic personnel, who will submit it to the Frantz Fund, along with a clinic invoice.

The Frantz Fund does not grant assistance directly to clients. The Fund will reimburse the veterinary clinic for 60 percent of the customary fee for qualifying services provided to the client.

  • The veterinary clinic will discount its service fee.
  • The client will agree to pay 10 percent of the customary charge for the service.
  • The Frantz Fund will pay the clinic the balance of the service cost.

The Frantz Fund will pay a maximum of $200 per pet, per client in a calendar year, with a limit of two pets per client.

An itemized statement with a completed Reimbursement Form must be submitted to The Frantz Fund within 30 days of the service being performed. Payment will be issued within 30 days of receipt of the statement and completed Reimbursement Form.

The veterinary clinic will submit Clinic Invoices & Reimbursement Forms to
