Earlier this month Dr Uri raised over $30,000 for humanitarian charities working to support the people of Ukraine in their struggle for survival.

Unfortunately animals are also suffering from this terrible conflict. Here is a fundraiser for a Kyiv animal shelter that is struggling to care for an overwhelming tide of injured and starving pets who lost their humans. We have it on good authority that this is a legitimate fundraiser and would like to encourage our clients to make a donation to help care for these creatures who were soneone's beloved companion just 2 months ago.

Hey everyone!

We have had a little daschund come to the Arbutus West clinic today.

She was found on West 41st and seems to have been lost for a few days as she was very dehydrated and hungry!

She is around 5 to 7 years old from what the vet can tell and is not spayed.

No microchip or tag or collar or anything.

If you have any information please let me know!

BCSPCA has been contacted but we are going to post and try find the owner as well 😊

She is very very sweet!

Thank you!
