As Vets4Pets Charitable Clinic enters our second year of operation, we are grateful to the many individuals and organizations that made it possible. An amazing first year has concluded, and we look forward to even more four legged friends being served in our second year. With the growing help of the business, veterinary, and animal rescue communities, we are confident that our second year at V4P will be more successful than our first. As the only local charitable veterinary clinic requiring “means testing”, our mission is to ensure the help we provide is going to those who truly need assistance. That mission continues in year two!
In its first year, V4P was open on Thursdays. Once each week, rescues groups and low income community residents knew the caring staff at the clinic would be ready to serve their furry friends. With both paid and unpaid volunteer help, the clinic benefited from the helping hands of everyone from veterinary doctors to high school volunteers. And what help…those hands provided care for more than one thousand animals! That care included pet sterilization services, core vaccinations, heart worm testing and treatments, and other varied procedures and tests. We are proud to help the furry friends of underprivileged families with an exceptional standard of care and compassion. Our first year proved compassion and veterinary standards can be provided while means testing in a charitable clinic.
The Hillsborough Animal Health Foundation has existed for almost thirty years and accomplished much, but without question Vets4Pets is the most important program the Foundation has launched. Consequently, we remain fully committed to the community we are serving. Our second year is going to be even more amazing!
