Kelsea Central, the Kelsea Ballerini update account run by two of her most ardent fans, has launched the “Dibs Forever Home Fund” at Pet Community Center (PCC) in Nashville, as part of their annual philanthropic initiative to celebrate Ballerini’s birthday. The fund will help provide veterinary care to pets of families facing financial hardship.

Thanks to a generous donor, all contributions up to $10,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Tax-deductible donations to the Dibs Forever Home Fund can be made here.

The fund was established in honor of Ballerini’s beloved dog Dibs who was diagnosed with cancer last year.

“Our love for Dibs is as strong as Kelsea’s, and we know how special the bond is between a dog and their family,” says Jenna Starosta, Co-Founder of Kelsea Central. “We wanted this year’s birthday fundraiser to be a tribute to both Kelsea and Dibs, so establishing this fund at Pet Community Center, a nonprofit organization we’ve used for our own pets, seemed like the perfect opportunity to honor their friendship and spread love to every deserving dog in our community.”

PCC is Nashville’s only nonprofit veterinary clinic that operates out of the Phran Galante Center for Pet Wellness, providing spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and outreach services for families living in underserved communities. Each year, the clinic provides affordable care to more than 15,000 dogs and cats, with all services offered on a sliding scale.

“At PCC, we believe pets are family, and we are honored that Kelsea Central chose to establish this fund for Kelsea and Dibs at our clinic,” shares Brandon Dyce, president and CEO of PCC. “Last year, we provided over $430,000 in free veterinary care to dogs and cats in our community, so the Dibs Forever Home Fund will only make it possible for more dogs–and more families–to have access to lifesaving care, which is remarkable and a testament to the generosity of Kelsea’s fans.”

Kelsea Central will be actively raising funds through Oct. 9, the date of PCC’s annual gala, “Fur Ball.”
