The Tuxie, Shadow & Rio Funds
Named funds
Three funds. Three beloved girls.
Each fund carries the memory of a member of the Shefts family and directs your gift to one kind of care. Please donate with your heart.
The Tuxie Fund · Sept 16, 2004 – Oct 24, 2014
Cancer treatments & research
The Tuxie Fund has been established in memory of our beloved Tuxie who we lost to cancer too young. She was the most lovable, sweet, easy going fur baby that gave us such enjoyment and happiness and will be hugely missed. All donations to the Tuxie Fund will be used exclusively for cancer related treatments and research.

The Shadow Fund · April 4, 2002 – December 23, 2015
Geriatric care
The Shadow Fund has been established in memory of our beloved Shadow who almost reached 14 years of age. She was a very special member of our family who brought us such joy every day and will be truly missed. When Shadow was 12 years old, because of our continued diligent medical care, we discovered she needed life saving surgery. This fund will hopefully help other geriatric pets get the medical care needed to extend their already too short lives.

The Rio Fund · April 12, 2004 – January 11, 2018
Spay & neuter programs
Rio came into our lives after the devastating loss of Breezy. She brought into our home love, tenderness, sweetness, laughter and so, so much more! She made our home whole again. Unfortunately, too many fur babies never have the same opportunities as there are just not enough loving homes for all of them. That is why the Rio Fund will directly support spay and neuter programs, as "NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE BORN TO DIE"! Rest in peace our sweet love. Run and play with your sisters. We love and miss you every day.
