Monster Dog Dash & Pet Benefit Event!

Our hospital hosts an Open House every year to draw awareness to homeless pets that are in need to find their forever homes. Each hospital hosts a variety of animal rescue groups from the area to showcase a small number of pets that they have available for adoption.  This is a great time for potential new families to meet these pets, as well as find out more information about the rescue groups. 

All of the proceeds from that day go to local animal rescue groups in the area that attend. The funds that we raise for them are vital to help with the growing costs of providing them housing, food,and any medical needs they require, allowing the groups to save more and more lives.
 


The Open House portion will be held on October 27, 2013
11:00am – 2:00pm
