We hope you can come out on

Sunday October 3rd to support 

♥ THE LAST CHANCE FUND ♥

The Pennsylvania Veterinary Foundation (PVF) established “The Last Chance Fund” (TLC) in 2009 to help ensure a source of funding for the care of abused or neglected, unowned companion animals that might otherwise be euthanized or turned over to an animal shelter that is already overburdened.

Funding for the TLC Fund is generated primarily through generous donations from pet owners and animal lovers.  Each donation received for the TLC fund will go to the direct care of abused, neglected, and stray companion animals.

CANINE BLOOD DRIVE  Pets Helping Pets!

TROOPER VETERINARY HOSPITAL is proud to host

University of Pennsylvania Penn Animal Blood Bank

Held right here at Trooper Vet 4 to 5 times per year 

Upcoming Blood Drives:

Saturday August 28th 9AM-1PM

Saturday October 16th 9AM-1PM

Saturday November 20th 9AM-1PM

Penn Animal Blood Bank is looking for volunteers for their blood donor program. The program looks to companion dogs to help save the lives of other companion dogs. Many dogs need blood to survive when they are suffering from anemia, blood disorders, rat poison ingestion and some emergency surgeries.

You may be able to help if your dog is:

• Good tempered and a willing volunteer
• Over 55 lbs.
• Between 1 and 7 years old
• Up to date on vaccines
• In excellent health
• Not taking any medication other than heartworm & flea protection

In appreciation, your dog receives a free bag or case of food. Once a dog donates, it becomes a lifetime member of the Penn Animal Blood Bank. If ever in need of a transfusion, blood is guaranteed to be available to donors, free of charge.

The Bloodmobile will be located here in our parking lot, and we are now taking appointments.

Please contact us and ask for Karen for more information.

We are excited to be able to participate in this life saving program! 

April 2010 - CONGRATULATIONS TO "ZOOBIE" FERST FOR HITTING THE ONE GALLON MARK!  That's 8 times Zoobie has given life saving blood for the benefit of dogs in need.  THANK YOU ZOOBIE!
