💔🐾 The rescue community has suffered an immeasurable loss and the animals have lost a remarkable protector:
It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the heartbreaking loss of Jesse Adams, co- founder of Vancouver Island's RainCoast Dog Rescue Society who tragically lost his life in Ukraine while rescuing animals caught in the devastation of war.

On Sunday, October 25, Jesse was evacuating animals from Kramatorsk, Ukraine when he lost his life doing what he had dedicated so much of it to. For those unfamiliar with Jesse's work, his compassion knew no borders. From rescuing neglected and abandoned animals here on Vancouver Island to helping evacuate animals from Afghanistan and war-torn Ukraine, Jesse went wherever help was needed most.
He didn't see borders, obstacles, or animals too difficult to save. He saw lives worth fighting for.
Through RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, his work alongside countless other rescue organizations and other passionate individuals, Jesse helped give animals something they may never have otherwise experienced: safety, compassion, and a second chance.

At FBVS, animal rescue is deeply woven into who we are. Through our own rescue division, we understand the dedication, heartbreak, sacrifice, and unwavering determination that come with fighting for animals who cannot advocate for themselves.
Rescue is more than an organization or a mission. It is a community united by the belief that every life matters....and that community is now grieving. Our hearts are with Jesse's family, friends, the entire RainCoast Dog Rescue Society team, his fellow rescuers in Ukraine, and every person whose life he touched.

Jesse's life is a reminder of just how much difference one compassionate human being can make in our world. His legacy will live on in every animal he saved, every family who adopted, every rescuer he inspired, and every second chance made possible because he refused to look away.
Rest peacefully, Jesse. Thank you for showing the world what compassion without boundaries looks like. 🐾💜

With love and deepest condolences,
The entire team at Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services & our Rescue Division
🕊️ In loving memory of Jesse Adams 🌈🐾

❗️🐾 Overnight hours update : October 16 (Fri) & 17 (Sat)

FBVS Parksville will be open for urgent appointments until midnight on both nights. Please call ahead before coming in.

After midnight, limited staff will remain on site to care for patients already in the clinic. We will not have capacity to accept new patients.

📢 Didn't want to keep you guessing too long! Here's whats coming to FBVS Parksville! 🐾🎉
We’re creating a dedicated space for urgent care and hospitalization.
One feature we’re especially excited about is our treatment pods, where you can stay with your animal. Because being close to their favourite human can mean so much. 💜
🛠️ The entire project is expected to be completed by spring/summer 2027, with some areas opening sooner so we can start putting them to use! We’ll keep you posted as each part comes together.
📣 STAY TUNED FOR OUR OFFICIAL OPENING DATE! Turn on notifications for our page so you catch every update and sneak peek.

🚨 Important After-Hours Veterinary Care Update
Please note that Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital is now known as Nanaimo Urgent Pet Care Center.
They are no longer offering overnight care and are now open 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM, 7 days a week.
If your pet requires after hours care, please contact:
🐾 FBVS Parksville: 250-947-1763
🐾 Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital: 250-475-2495
🐾 WAVES: 778-432-4322
❗️A reminder that FBVS Parksville is not an emergency hospital. While we are able to provide overnight care for many urgent patients, pets requiring more complex or specialized emergency care may still need to be directed to Victoria.
❤️ A little tip from our team: Save all these numbers in your phone now! When your pet suddenly needs urgent care, it can be stressful and hard to think clearly. Especially when you’re trying to figure out where to go in the middle of the night. Having these numbers saved ahead of time is one less thing to worry about.
📲Please call ahead whenever possible before travelling with your pet, and feel free to share this post so other local pet owners can be prepared too. 🐾

🎉 BIG NEWS! WE’RE NOW OPEN 24 HOURS!🐾
Starting this week, Fantastic Beasts Veterinary Services Parksville will officially be open 24 hours a day!
While we are striving for 24hr, 7 days/wk, 365 days/yr coverage, we already know there will be occasional dates and times that we cannot cover. We will try to update our social media and website as soon as possible for these instances.
Also, a quick reminder that we are not an emergency hospital or referral center. While we can accommodate most cases, there will be times that we recommend referring patients to a larger center - so please phone before bringing your pet whenever possible!
Our Animal Health Link (AHL) after-hours team will continue to be available by phone to help guide pet owners with any pet-related concerns. Pets requiring urgent or same-day assessment can be referred to us through AHL when appropriate.
Our expanded hours also allow us to provide continued hospitalization and overnight monitoring for our patients, as well as help with some patients requiring ongoing care when local clinics close.
📞 Please continue to call first before coming in. This helps ensure your pet is directed to the most appropriate care and allows our team to be prepared for their arrival.
This is a big and exciting step for our team, and we’re incredibly grateful for your patience and continued support as we settle into being 24/7! 💜🐾
