🚨 Hero Alert! 🚨
Meet Pickle, one of our incredible blood donors who recently stepped up during an emergency case! Thanks to Pickle’s life-saving donation, a pet in urgent need received the critical care they deserved.

Our hospital’s blood donor program plays a vital role in helping pets through emergencies like this—and we couldn’t do it without amazing donors like Pickle.

Interested in making a difference? Reach out to [email protected] to learn how your pet can become a hero too! Read more about Pickle below:

"What’s up, I’m Pickle. Mom usually calls me cheeseburger.

My philosophy is the louder I meow, the quicker I get pets and food. I am entitled to be considered the world’s goodest boy. There’s nothing I love more than being in my mom lap curled up with a warm blanky and kneading biscuits. No shame, I’m a mama’s boy. I always greet my mom with a happy, vibrating tail. My favorite time of day is when she comes home!"
