Amanda Oliver served as the Executive Director of Beesley Animal Foundation. Her legacy will live on at Beesley Animal Foundation for the love and care she fostered for hundreds of pets through her service. Amanda’s compassion and love for animals that she exhibited in the work she did as Executive Director for the Foundation that spanned a few decades will live on forever.

One of the last projects she was working on before her sudden death was finding ways to help pet owners with limited resources get access to veterinary care for their pets when urgent situations or conditions arise. She strongly believed in the human-animal bond and knew that people want to be responsible and take care of their pets but more and more have limited resources creating a barrier to vet care. Amanda believed everyone was deserving of a pet and understood that sometimes for those underserved; their pet was their only companion who brought joy and love to their lives.

Therefore in honor of Amanda, in 2023 Beesley Animal Foundation created the Oliver Pet Assistance Fund. The intention of this fund is to help bridge the gap of access to vet care for dogs and cats and keep families together.

The Oliver Pet Assistance Fund (OPAF) was created by Beesley Animal Foundation (BAF) to provide financial assistance grants to family- owned pets in Rutherford and Cannon Counties in need of urgent (non-emergency) veterinary care. It was created for owners who are low-income, elderly and other underserved caregivers. This fund is designed to help with treatment of urgent (non-emergency) medical conditions where treatment will prevent suffering, euthanasia or relinquishment.
