Programs

DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital is much more than a place where you can bring your animal 24 hours a day, knowing you’ll get the best, most specialized emergency and critical care in the northwest.

Our 100% donor-funded community programs also make us unique:

• We screen and train human-animal teams which visit dozens of facilities, from prisons to schools to hospitals.
• We help hundreds of people through their grief when they lose a companion animal.
• We are able to never turn away a stray or wild animal if they come to us injured.
• We run one of the largest community-based animal blood banks in the U.S. Hundreds of lives are saved each year because of our blood bank. It helps not only patients at DoveLewis, but dogs and cats at other veterinary clinics throughout the Portland metro area.
• We offer financial assistance to qualifying hospital clients. This can ease financial strain on low-income families and individuals.
• We help defray the costs of medical care for victims of animal abuse.
