Today we are helping Akiko Moon who is the brown dog in the photos. Akiko has not eaten for several days and owner didn’t have the funds for her to be seen. She likes short walks and riding in the jeep. Owner bottle fed her at 5 weeks and he has been her rock while owner went through cancer treatment. We hope to get some answers to be able to get her feeling better!💕
I will be at The Pet Stop on Wednesday if anyone has any change jars they would like to donate. I’m already a little behind in rolling coins, but I’m going to get caught up this week! NOW IS TIME FOR CHANGE! Help prevent suffering in our companion animals.
This is Matilda, a beloved 13 year old pit bull who’s owner reached out to us when she noticed a large mass develop on Matilda’s jaw and was unable to cover the expenses of veterinary care and treatment. ![]()

Matilda has been a constant companion to her owner and her family during blessed times as well as a tremendous emotional support to her owner in times of sickness and struggle. ![]()
She was there for many wonderful life moments and watched over her owner when she was ill and when her husband suffered from major medical conditions. Her family cares deeply for her and it showed as she reflected on her lifetime of loyalty and how they did not want to see her in pain. ![]()
![]()
After her visit with Wasilla Veterinary Clinic, her family learned that the prognosis was not great. We are saddened by the news; cancer diagnosis’s are heartbreaking. We wish Matilda’s family comfort in these sorrowful times. ![]()

The Roscoe Fund is thankful we were able to assist her owner in finding answers so that Matilda doesn’t have to suffer. ![]()

We covered the costs of the diagnosis and pain medication to afford her family a few more quality moments and when the time comes, we will cover the expense of her final appointment so that her family can humanely say goodbye.
Our message phone number is 907-865-6999. We will be checking messages at least every 24 hours. If it is urgent, sending a Facebook message will get to us quickly. Thank you for your support.
Update: I am still trying to do the fund as needed as we reorganize. Unfortunately we still have just a few people running the fund. We will not be available for any elective surgeries ( cruciate, dental, etc.). I will be posting a Roscoe Fund phone number this week so I am not taking calls on my personal phone. ![]()

Slug is currently at Pet Emergency Treatment fighting for his life. Owners adopted from Animal Control a few weeks ago and was very lethargic. Their regular vet sent him to Emergency because he was so anemic he needs a blood transfusion. The Roscoe Fund assisted with our maximum, but she is still in need of more money. Carecredit is maxed out. Please donate directly if you can help. We are in desperate need of donations as well. We are trying to rebuild funds this month. Thank you donors!💕💕
Yesterday, we got a call from a paramedic that was concerned about a homeless man who had a dog in his car ( he was living in his car) that had blood coming out of his ear. We received a few other calls from other concerned citizens. We were able to track him down and get Niko to a veterinarian and get treatment. Hopefully the man and his pooch are feeling much better today! Please donate! We are taking this month off to reorganize and rebuild our funds. We did have to help Niko yesterday though!😊. Puppy picture for cuteness, not Niko.
Teagan has been vomiting the last two days. His owner been trying to save up for additional diagnostic tests. Unfortunately, time is not on our side anymore. He is going to get a few X-rays and a re-evaluation tomorrow, and then some medications to help him feel better. His ears are the greatest!💕💕. I have decided to keep The Roscoe Fund alive and get a new board. But for now, we are running low on funds. Please help us help pets like Teagan! Also, thank you my friends for encouraging me to keep the fund open!💕. If you are interested in helping out with the fund, I wI’ll be setting up interviews in the near future.
We assisted Min to the end of her life. She gave her owners joy for many, many years. We are sorry for your loss!💕 I’m trying to fix the donate button

Peanut was checked out by a veterinarian and is in need of quite a few things. Among those is a haircut, lab work, and a teeth cleaning. We are trying to help so little Peanut can have a good quality and long life!💝
Trigger was vomiting and had a carpet tack in his gut that needed to be removed. His owner went crazy trying to raise money for his surgery. We are happy to report he is recovering well. Thank you donors for your support!
Taz was very ill for several days. His owner had taken him to emergency and after many diagnostic tests, he went in for an exploratory surgery. He was very septic! A twig was found embedded in his spleen that had perforated his intestines. Even after the surgery was completed, he faced days of treatment and may not survive. We are happy to report that Taz is back to himself, barking at people knocking at the door and demanding treats! 💕💞
Cassie needed emergency surgery for bladder stones. We are hoping she makes a swift recovery.💕
Spike was bit in the muzzle by a bigger dog who broke his jaw. All of his teeth needed to be pulled due to having to wire his jaw and having bad decay. Several non profit agencies are working together to help Spike get better and returned to his owner.
Tuzik is getting better, but he doesn’t like his cone of shame very much. I’m sure he wants to get out and play in he snow!
Thank you Peggy Brockman
Tuzik got assistance today for an infection/wound on his face. We hope he is feeling better now. His owner has been out of work and just started a new job.
The Fund will be closed for a few weeks so that I may spend some time with my family. Please check with other non profits for assistance during this time. Facebook, Go Fund Me, The Red River Fund, and local rescue groups are sometimes available to assist. Have a Merry Christmas!!!![]()
