Free Pet Respirator Kits to First Responders
Are you a fire fighter, an EMT, or a police officer? Do you lack the proper equipment to save family pets in a fire or automobile accident? Ryan's Fund can help.
Ryan's Fund purchased a number of pet respirator kits, also known as Recovery O2 masks, to donate to first responders. The respirators are easy to use and come in three sizes. They can be used to provide life-saving oxygen at fire scenes and other emergencies to pets ranging in size from a small bird to a large dog.
Ryan's Fund thanks Bolton Veterinary Hospital for supporting this effort.

Kick-off Ceremony
Ryan's Fund made the kick-off donation of pet respirator kits (Recovery O2 masks) to Coventry Volunteer Fire Department on December 20, 2006. The donation ceremony was followed by a pet rescue training session offered to fire fighters at no charge by Dr. Edward Grace and Andrea McDonald of Bolton Veterinary Hospital.
Testimonial
Losing possessions in a fire is devastating. Losing a pet family member compounds the devastation. Read this first hand account:
"In May 2003, Brian, Autumn and I lost everything in a house fire in Cromwell, CT and, due to our injuries sustained in the fire, we were not able to help our kitties. The fast, compassionate and much-appreciated response of the firefighters to rescue many of our cats, and to promptly transport them to the veterinarian for oxygen and other treatment, lead to the complete recovery of our 'babies'. Knowing that we really didn't lose everything, our healing process was eased, especially that of our young daughter. We strongly support the effort to outfit the firefighters with pet oxygen masks so other families may be as lucky as we were."
