UPDATE: OWNER FOUND.

One of the areas in our new addition that is serving us well is our second-floor conference room. This large area, complete with tables, chairs, a video screen, and an adjacent doctor’s lounge, is a great place for staff meetings, conference calls with doctors around the world, and for continuing education classes, such as learning about new techniques and new medications. Each year, doctors and veterinary technicians must take a certain number of continuing education credits to keep up to date on their certification, and being able to hold those sessions at the hospital makes it easier for staff to participate. In the photo, vet tech Sharyn (left) and Dr. Judy Nauta (right), learn about ticks in a class for continuing education credit.

We are collecting supplies for several area rescues we partner with, and today’s rescue spotlight is on Midwest Boston Terriers Rescue. This rescue is funded entirely by donations and run by the hearts of volunteers who are dedicated to rescuing Boston Terriers from shelters and individuals and finding them permanent homes. They have no shelter. The rescued Bostons are fostered in homes until they find their new loving, responsible, lifelong homes. The photo on the left side of the graphic is Ada, one of the Boston Terriers treated at Cedar Animal Hospital last year for a broken leg. The rescue is asking for lots of Dog treats, Hills Science Diet sensitive skin and stomach, and gift cards to Amazon and Chewy for Hills prescription diet dog foods.

Please join us in collecting supplies for our "Relief for Rescues" holiday fundraiser! We have five rescue partners we are collecting for, and today’s rescue spotlight is on Cannonsville Critters, a true no-kill shelter for abandoned, abused, or neglected cats. They take in unwanted cats and kittens, spay/neuter them, give them age-appropriate vaccines, and treat them for fleas, ticks, and worms. They also attend to whatever serious medical issues they may have such as dental problems and ulcerated eyes. They are a non-profit, volunteer-based rescue, with over 3,200 cats and kittens adopted through their organization. The cat in the photo is Mr. Bojangles, one of the kitties helped last year by Cannonsville Critters and given care at Cedar Animal Hospital. He had been shot in the face with a handgun.
The list of items that Cannonsville Critters and the other rescues need can be found on our website at www.cedarah.com.

Please join us in collecting supplies for our "Relief for Rescues" holiday fundraiser! We have five rescue partners we are collecting for, and today’s rescue spotlight is Little Woods Sanctuary.

Everyone who comes to the sanctuary stays for their natural life, and receives routine medical care, along with any emergency or major medical that may arise.

Cedar Animal Hospital is collecting supplies and gift cards for some of our local rescue partners through our Relief for Rescues, our holiday give back program, and we hope that you will join us! We have gift boxes in our lobbies where you can donate. Today’s rescue spotlight is on Michele's Rescue—a no kill rescue that takes in and adopts out animals from shelters all over the country. Michele is also credited with the founding of “The West Michigan Spay & Neuter Clinic of West Michigan.” Michele organizes events, fosters, and transports throughout West Michigan, and saves hundreds of animals each month. She is also the founder of the annual Petapawlooza - West Michigan, an event that brings together multiple rescue organizations and vendors from around West Michigan to promote animal welfare. In the photo is Dr. Nauta and Tapioca, a dog that was hit by a car and we treated earlier this fall for Michele’s Rescue.
