Compassion Funds

The Veterinary Health Center Compassion Funds were designed as pay-it-forward programs to provide life-saving services for animals that have no caretakers or caretakers with special circumstances.

Compassion funds are vital to the hospital to assist in the care of owned and un-owned animals.
