Happy Halloween!! 🎃🐾

Nothing scary or spooky here, just a precious pink and purple pajama-wearing pittie! 🩷💜

Quinly was rescued by FCACC and brought into the hospital for a checkup post-spay. She’s a happy and curious dog who loves making friends and making a fashion statement.

We hope you get nothing but Treats this Halloween, Quinly!

🖤😸 Black cat appreciation post!! 😸🖤

There’s nothing spooky about this cool cat! Ponzu from C.A.R.E. stopped by for a check-up last week, as he went on his way to the shelter.

He’s a very sweet, cuddly cat with big, round pumpkin-eyes 😻🎃. A perfect cuddle companion for this spooky season 🍁

Happy Technician Week to our amazing team at SVS!
💐💐💐

We have a couple of new faces at SVS (better introductions ahead) that you may or may not have met that keep our practice running efficiently and smoothly.

Shaina, Jassie, Sarah and Christina are intelligent, compassionate women that provide comfort and reassurance to both patients and humans alike. 3 1/2 staff members is a small number compared to the number of patients we see daily and they somehow manage to remain positive, empathetic, and friendly throughout our very long days. ❤️🐾

Veterinary medicine is a team effort and we are so grateful for every member of ours. 🤗🐶😽

🍂🍁You know it’s Fall when a leaf floats down from the trees and finds a spot on the ground; and Dark Horse Dogs, NFP very own Leif came for a visit this week!

Leif came in for an ultrasound and some lab work, and when all was done he found the perfect spot on the ground. Leif by name, Leif by nature 🤭

Big smile. Perfect sploot. All in a day’s work for this goofy guy! 🐶

🔊🔊 Kitten Crunch ASMR!! 🔊🔊

Blue, Tim, Squeaker and Dolly were in our hospital for vaccines and dewormer - but we couldn’t help but throw in some tasty treats for them too 🤭🤭

These gorgeous, tiny kittens from FCACC did so well for their first vet visit outside of Chicago Animal Control.

We’ll see them in a few weeks for a vaccine booster … and some more treats, of course 🤗😽

🐶🐾 We had puppy overload last week at SVS when a whole crew of Heartland Animal Shelter pups came in for spay/neuter.

They got one step closer to their forever homes, and we got lots and lots of sweet puppy nose boops and cuddles! 🤗🤗

A look at our TNR package at SVS! 🐈🐾

The feral cats arrive in traps - thanks .feline.project !

They are then sedated and given a full exam by our Doctors. They’re given their vaccines, a microchip, and treatment for any wounds or injuries. It’s tough out there for a feral cat!

The cats are neutered and given an ear-tip, as a marker to know that they have been sterilized.

After they recover in the hospital, the rescue returns them to their caretakers where they can be released back outside over the coming days.

We’re proud to have TNR’d hundreds and hundreds of feral cats, helping reduce the feral and homeless animal population in Chicagoland! 😸😸

This is Cap from MCP! 💕

Cap is a good boy who came in last week for a Cytopoint injection to help control his itchiness.

As you can see, he was a very sweet, loving patient.

It must be so hard being this cute! 🐶🤗

If you’ve been to our hospital, you’ll no doubt have been greeted and won over by our CVT Lauren. 🤗🤗

She has been working at Shelter Veterinary Solutions since the beginning (August 2022) but has decided it is now time to begin a new adventure!

She has worked in Shelter Medicine for 20 years and is continuing to help animals, but in a new role outside of our hospital. 🐱🐶

Lauren is highly skilled both in veterinary medicine and in her ability to calm and soothe any nervous or uncertain patient.

She is great with dogs and cats alike; large breeds, small breeds; terrified dogs and angry cats; all animals that came through SVS doors were well taken care of thanks in large part to her! 🐾🩶

All of us here at SVS will miss her and we wish her luck on her new journey!

Leave well wishes and thanks below so Lauren can see how loved she is by the SVS community! 💕🤗
