The Safe Harbor Fund at Charleston Harbor Veterinarians is a charitable fund established in 2020 to support our clients who have encountered financial hardship and also for the lost, neglected and homeless animals that make their way into our doors.
CHV owners, Dr. Christa and Brent Kahuda, were inspired to launch the Safe Harbor Fund, personally making an donation, in response to the economic conditions brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To date, the Safe Harbor Fund has helped provide veterinary care to dozens of pets in our community. Over $10,000 has been donated and utilized fully for pets within our clinic community. It has helped prevent loving pet parents from being forced to make decisions for their pets future based on finances alone and it has assisted our clinic in providing support to stray animals that are brought to us with no other options.
If you would like to make a donation to the Safe Harbor Fund, we know there are many deserving pets who will greatly appreciate your generosity, as do we! You can do so at any time in-person or by phone or you might consider rounding up a future invoice at the clinic to put towards the fund.
Grants for the Safe Harbor Fund will be determined at the discretion of Charleston Harbor Veterinarian’s owners and team and is reserved for existing clients of the clinic.
