Where Fantastic Pets Find Fantastic Care

Untitled design_20231128_142937_0000.png

Animal healthcare as unique as your fantastical fur children

Our hospital has 3 separate divisions!

The funds collected in our traditional clinic help support our work with animal rescue organizations, as well as our low-income division.

Who we are
(and how we're different)

Our clinic was created to provide veterinary services to animals without access to veterinary care, and we accomplish this by running three divisions.
The first is a traditional vet hospital that runs in the same manner as most clinics. Through this division we provide everything from puppy-love appointments to cat dentistry to advanced diagnostics. This is the side of our clinic that most of our clients see and experience, but not everyone knows that there is more to us than first meets the eye...

The other divisions function on a not-for-profit basis, and are dedicated to working with animals that would not otherwise receive even the most basic of healthcare.


Our 'Pawsitive Care' programs aim to reduce the cost of vet care for owners experiencing financial hardship, while our 'Rescue Vet' programs partner with local animal rescue organizations to care for surrendered, stray, feral, and otherwise unowned animals who are trying to find their fur-ever homes.

Thank you to everyone who continues to work with us to help us in our journey toward increasing veterinary accessibility! This includes animal rescue organizations, local non-profit and traditional vet clinics, industry partners, and individual community members.

 All of our programs are based on volunteer work and donations from the community.

 

We could not provide these services without your support

After-hours Tele-Triage

We are now offering after-hours tele-triage services to help owners decide if their pets need to seek emergency care. 

If you have any concerns regarding your pets while our clinic is closed, call us! You will be re-routed to a Registered Veterinary Technologist from Animal Healthlink. Based on the symptoms you describe the tech will help you decide if your pet should be seen by a local emergency hospital immediately, or if it can wait to book an appointment with us in the morning.
