Roseburg, OR - Julia Russill of Douglas County Low-Cost Veterinary Services, "I'd like to share with you an event we participated in on Friday, September 17th here at the Roseburg Veterans Administration Hospital Campus.
"We were asked by the coordinators of the Southern Oregon Stand Down to provide veterinary care to the homeless veterans who had their pets with them at this event. The Stand Down is where homeless veterans are bused in from all over Oregon (including their families and pets, if they have any) to the VA campus for a three-day event. They erect a tent city on the golf course and provide three meals a day, medical care, dental care, legal counseling, mental health, drug and alcohol addiction counseling, haircuts, - you name it, and it was there - including veterinary care for the pets."
We saw 13 dogs for vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment, nail trims, and blood work - all at no charge, and gave away lots of pet food, as well."
Vancouver, WA - Dr. Slocum of Hazel Dell Animal Hospital, "My wife and I did the free clinic Saturday, September 11, from 1:30 to 4. We saw 24 cats and 25 dogs. Most needed vaccines, all needed flea control. We have given 961 pounds of pet food to local food banks."
May Landing, NJ - Best Friends Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Brown - "In September, at our last free clinic at the American Red Cross in Cape May Court House we treated 75 pets."
