After an unexpected jump through a window, Cash made a visit to our SAVES ER team for a laceration repair. Thankfully, he was a champ through sedation, surgery, and recovery! Here he is showing off his boxing gloves before heading in for his laceration repairs.

A reminder that SAVES ER is open 24/7 for whatever unexpected adventures your pets may get into.

CALLING ALL PUPS 40 LBS & OVER!

Not every lifesaving hero has to be 50 lbs or more! Our 1/2 Pint Blood Donor Club celebrates the pups who may not meet the weight requirement for a standard 1-pint donation but can still make a BIG difference.

For dogs weighing 40–49 lbs, a half-pint donation is another opportunity to help save the lives of pets in need. Every donation counts, and every donor matters!

Flint wants you to meet some of his fellow Blood Donor Heroes!

Flint is proud to be part of a very special crew of lifesavers, and he’s ready to introduce you to some of his blood donor friends from last week!

Meet Denver, Jager and Tuesday!

Did you know? Just one blood donation from a dog can help save the lives of up to four other dogs! These incredible heroes help provide lifesaving blood products for pets facing emergencies, undergoing surgery, or battling serious illnesses.

We’re so grateful for all of our amazing blood donors who help give other pets a second chance.

🐾 Help us celebrate our donor heroes! Give Flint’s fellow lifesavers some love in the comments, and stay tuned to meet more of our incredible blood donor team!
