Fox5 Story on Low-Cost Veterinary Care at WellPet Humane
Tune in tonight to Fox5 and see a report on low-cost veterinary care provided at WellPet Humane. Reporters interviewed Dr Amy Orlin, and answered questions about the critical need for affordable veterinary care in our community. They also talked to clients. Wellpet's nonprofit veterinary services are there to help pet owners who are experiencing financial hardships. WellPet was launched in August of 2008 to end "economic euthanasia." WellPet's affordable, low-cost service is needed now more than ever. WellPet serves low income pet owners, rescues, feral cat caretakers and referrals from veterinarians as well as students, retired and those living on social security. Everyone can take advantage of special pricing on vaccinations, spay/neuter. Often we get pet owners who were given estimates for surgery or treatments from clinics or hospitals that they just could not afford. It's a tough situation. We are proud to be able to respond to those needs. Most of all we the staff takes great pride in sending an animal home, fully recovered from it's life-threatening situation. If you know of anyone who lost their job or has a current financial hardship please tell them about the WellPet program. Any support you may offer would be welcomed!

Bob Christiansen
President
