About Us

The Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing’s Fund Inc. was incorporated in the state of Ohio on Dec. 12, 2014. On Feb. 25, 2015 we were given our EIN by the IRS. On March 6, 2015 we received our Determination Letter from the IRS granting our 501(c)(3) tax exempt status effective Jan. 1, 2015.

This fund was born out of a depth of love and grief that defies language. It is an endeavor in honor of our babies, Tipper Stalma and Squirt Richards, who suffered with Cushing’s, as well as all cush babies around the world, past, present, and future. Through this fund and your help, our cherished girls, Tipper and Squirt, will live on with each cush pup we are able to aid and we cannot thank you enough for the part each of you play.

The mission of the Tipper and Squirt Care for Cushing's Fund Inc. is to financially aid families who are struggling to pay their dogs' medical costs associated with the diagnosis and treatment of this complex disease called canine hyperadrenocorticism or canine Cushing’s.
