The Baunji Strong Foundation
Hope Knows No LimitsThe Baunji Strong Foundation was established shortly after the loss of Billy Bauer’s beloved canine, Baunji, to osteosarcoma. Given a few short months to live, Baunji astounded the experts over the course of the next year and nine months with an “amazing quality of life” conventional medicine had not seen before.
Hope Knows No Limits
It is Baunji’s legacy of Strength, Determination, and a Remarkable Will to Live – grounded in Faith and Hope – that beats strongly in Billy’s heart. It is a legacy that continues to fuel his fight against canine cancer and is the basis for the Baunji Strong Foundation.
After hearing those dreadful words, “YOUR PET HAS CANCER”, many pet parents lose hope. We see it in their face; we hear it in their voice. Their next two questions are “what treatments are available?” and “how can we afford this?”
The Baunji Strong Directives
Our focus in the fight against canine cancer is one of positive messaging while advocating for pet parents, equipping them with the same tools and resources utilized successfully in Baunji’s journey.
We aim to accomplish our goals by:
1. Restoring HOPE for those fighting this disease with a support system built specifically for and around them throughout their medical journey. Hope Knows No Limits.
2. ENCOURAGING pet parents to “think outside the box” when advocating for their pet, equipping them with the knowledge and resources to make INFORMED decisions, whether considering conventional, alternative, or holistic therapies. (Nutritional guidance to fight the disease metabolically is one example.)
3. Awarding FINANCIAL GRANTS to those fighting canine cancer. The Foundation understands the burden this diagnosis places upon pet families. No pet parent should be stigmatized – and no canine should suffer – because of a lack of funds. Every dog deserves a FIGHTING CHANCE.
