​Member Clinic Responsibilities

1. Accept at least one ACF client a year.  (You may always deny a client at the point of referral, no questions asked.)

2. Provide $250 of pro bono service per year of necessary veterinary care to ACF clients whose referral you accept.

3.  Utilize the Supplemental Assistance Program for pets who need additional care (this provides up to $1,000 of additional funds at no cost to the clinic).

4. Provide receipts for all care to ACF.

5. You may refer your existing clients to ACF to see if they qualify whether or not you are able to accept them as ACF clients.  If you are unable to provide the pro bono portion to these clients we will do our best to match them to a different member clinic.
