Summer is here, and the sunshine is out! There's no better time to enjoy the sun and play, and this applies to our pets too! We want to see the summer playtime activities your pets have been up to, whether it's a long nap in the sun, enjoying a family hike, or taking a splash in the local river. Whatever summer fun your pet has enjoyed, we want to see it!
Enter your pet's photo in the DoveLewis Pet Photo Contest and Fundraiser: Sunshine and Summer Playtime.
In addition to
great prizes and social media recognition for the contest winners, your participation helps raise funds for the DoveLewis canine and feline blood bank.
Did you know? DoveLewis has one of the largest community-based blood banks in the United States, which relies solely on donations.
Cats and dogs, just like humans, can need blood transfusions during emergencies. Our volunteer team of dogs and cats donates enough blood for over 700 transfusions every year at our hospital and other clinics. The need is greater than ever.
Check out the recent New York Times article featuring our blood bank!
Blood Bank Program Coordinator Kelsey says: "Our thriving blood bank provides necessary blood products to pets at many hospitals in the Portland area and beyond. This wouldn't be possible without our amazing team of blood donors and donations like yours!"
Together, we can save even more lives. Help us reach our goal of raising $10,000 to make an even greater impact on the lives of animals.
