No fundraiser, (or volunteer) is too small!

Emmy is one of our youngest supporters, and often comes to clinic to watch mom Natalie Culler Thomas (who is one of our amazing volunteer doctors), do her thing helping our furry clients stay healthy.

Emmy, who is quite crafty, made paper horses and had a garage sale to raise money for SOP!
😍
Truth be told, Emmy has done so much for us over the years, so it’s hard to express how appreciative we are…but here’s a few things we love about this little powerhouse:
🙂She always has a smile on her face.
🧽 She helps clean up when it’s time to go home.
🍩 She eats a lot of donuts (saving us adults from all the extra calories😆).
💩 She fearlessly picks up just anout any pet ‘accident’. (…and no, we don’t ask her/make her do do that, she’s just that kinda helper😌).
🐶 💚She really loves animals, and that gives us all hope for the future of animal advocacy.

We may be changing how we operate in the future, but we’ll never stop needing the support of our community…no matter how big or small. No matter how young or old.

Thank you, Emmy for all you’ve given back to the SOP family and our community of pets!

🐾❤️ IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM SAVE OHIO PETS ❤️🐾

📢 NOVEMBER 8 WILL BE OUR LAST VACCINE & WELLNESS CLINIC AT 1000 E. BROAD STREET.

If you are already a SAVE Ohio Pets client and think your pet may be due for vaccines, please call (855) 243-7283 to be added to our November waitlist.

Although we will not be hosting monthly vaccine clinics in 2027, we will continue helping pets get spayed and neutered when appointments become available for eligible Franklin County residents who receive government assistance. We also hope to offer pop-up clinics in the future, so please watch our page for updates and details!

❤️ Every pet deserves care, and we are so grateful to have spent the last 10 years helping pets and families in our community. 🐾

THANK YOU, SAVE OHIO PETS FAMILY! 🐾

What a special and emotional day as we wrapped up our LAST spay and neuter clinic at 1000 E. Broad Street! ❤️

Thanks to our amazing partners at Rascal Unit, we were able to spay and neuter 47 pets this month! 🐶🐱 That means 47 pets taking another step toward healthier lives and helping prevent unwanted litters.

On the wellness clinic side, we cared for 38 pets. A huge THANK YOU to our two hard-working doctors and the best volunteers around! Your dedication, compassion, and hard work make all of this possible. 💚

We also want to give a very special shout-out to the Larsen family, our sponsors for this month’s clinic. The Larsens have been longtime supporters of SAVE Ohio Pets and of animals throughout our community. They have been with us since the very beginning, and we are incredibly honored and grateful for their support over the last 10 years. Your continued generosity means more than words can express. Thank you for believing in our mission! ❤️

As we look toward the future, we know there is still so much to share. 💚 Be sure to follow our page for more information about what’s to come in 2027.

A huge THANK YOU to Beechwold Veterinary Hospital for continuing to support Save Ohio Pets! ❤️🐾

We’re so grateful for businesses like them that go above and beyond to help pets in need. Their Buckeye fundraiser has already made a real difference, helping provide flea and tick prevention for the animals in our care. 🐶🐱

Thank you for thinking of us, supporting our mission, and helping us make a difference for SAVE Ohio’s Pets! We appreciate you more than you know!

If you’re in the area, stop by Beechwold Veterinary Hospital and grab some Buckeyes for a great cause!

Despite several late cancels and ‘no shows’ (more on that later), AND despite knowing that our clinic days our coming to an end, we continue to be extremely grateful to help the animals that arrive at our clinic each month. All of the animals we helped today, really needed the free Vet care they received. Lots of flea allergies, skin issues, ear infections, and hungry bellies…🥺

Today’s clinic was brought to you by Friend of SOP, Robbi Scott in remembrance of her beloved husband Greg, and soul dog Poppy. Thank you so much, Robbie, you’re a true gem and animal advocate - this clinic wouldn’t have happened without your generous 💚.

Shout out to our only vet today, Dr. Suzanne Terrant for hustling through 21 dogs and cats, (all while keeping us all smiling and laughing)!
Plus…y’all already know we have the best volunteers but we’ll never stop telling them, and you, how much we appreciate them giving up their Sunday’s to be a part of our little family.

A SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR CLIENTS ON ‘NO SHOWS’:
When you don’t show up for an appointment or cancel same day, you are taking away an opportunity for another deserving pet to get care they deserve. With that, we ask that you only confirm appointments if you are confident you can make it. With only 2 or 3 more clinic days before we close our doors, we want to be sure we can help as many pets as possible.

Thank you in advance.

For the past 10 years, SAVE Ohio Pets has been incredibly grateful to Dr. Newman and Ohio Health Center for allowing us to use their building to host our monthly free vaccine clinics and pet food giveaways.

Recently, the building has been sold, and we won’t be able to continue our clinics. We will be able to finish out our remaining clinics there for the rest of this year.

If your pet is a SAVE Ohio Pets client and is due for vaccines this year, please don’t wait. We want to make sure your pets stay protected while we still have a place to serve you. If your pet is due for vaccines, please call us at (855) 243-7283 to schedule an appointment.

Our remaining clinic dates for 2026 are:
🐾 August 16
🐾 September 13
🐾 October 11
🐾 November 8
🐾 December- to be determined

We are so thankful to Dr. Newman and OhioHealth for their generosity and support over the past decade. Their kindness has helped us provide preventive care to thousands of pets throughout Central Ohio.

Please follow our page for the latest updates and announcements. Thank you for your continued support of SAVE Ohio Pets and for trusting us to care for your furry family members. ❤️
