Meet Pearl, our tiny but mighty friend!

This sweet chihuahua came to Mission Animal Hospital for her vaccines, and her family shared she’d been dealing with a little cough. Thanks to our dedicated team and donor-subsidized prices, we were able to treat her cough and give her the care she needed—all while keeping her family’s budget in mind. 💕

Now Pearl is feeling great, up-to-date on her vaccines, and ready to snuggle her way into the new year! 🐕✨

Your support makes stories like Pearl’s possible. Together, we’re keeping pets happy and healthy!

🐾 Meet Strahd: A True Survivor 🐾

A year and a half ago, Mission saved his life! Because of Mission and the love of his family, this incredible kitty is thriving, and we’re so honored to be his go-to for all his medical care. 💖

Strahd’s family absolutely adores him (and who could blame them? ❤️), and we feel the same every time he visits. Seeing his sweet face reminds us why we do what we do!

This week, Strahd was back for his physical exam and vaccinations, looking as healthy and happy as ever. His family’s love for him is endless, and it’s clear he feels the same way about them! ❤

Here's to many more healthy, happy years for Strahd! 🐱✨

For the final of 2025, we wanted to share our Story of the Year. We’ve shared a lot of stories of heartbreak and hope over the past year. But there is one that stands out as the most viewed and shared. It’s a story that shows the profound impact that our supporters have on families every day: Terra and Rocky.

When Terra lost her son Andy in a tragic accident, his pets, Daisy and Rocky, became her lifeline to his memory. But when Rocky fell critically ill, Terra, living on a limited income, faced an impossible choice: pay her rent or try to save Rocky’s life.

Hospital after hospital turned her away, unable to offer help within her means. Rocky’s cries of pain were heartbreaking, and Terra was desperate. Then, someone directed her to Mission Animal Hospital.

Here, everything changed. Instead of being turned away, Terra found a compassionate team ready and able to help. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Rocky received life-saving treatment and returned home safe and healthy.

How sweet is our ?! Jack is a 12 year old kitty who came to Mission Animal Hospital after what started as a small lump became pretty big, and it needed to be looked at. As you can see, it was taking up a lot of space on his chest. Since Jack is on the older side, his family was most focused on making sure that he was comfortable and happy as he ages. Mission Animal Hospital made sure that they were able to provide all the loving care he needed. We removed Jack’s tumor, and now he’s much more comfortable and happy with his family who adore him.

Mission Animal Hospital knows that pets are family, and we’re here to help them get the care they need, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

George, today’s , is so special to his mom, Gail. They spend their days together, and he’s her quiet shadow, offering quiet companionship.

But when George became ill, Gail was deeply concerned. Something seemed “off,” and she knew he needed to get veterinary care quickly. She found Mission Animal Hospital, where we were able to help keep Gail and George’s special bond intact, by providing donor-subsidized veterinary care to this sweet older kitty.

Fritz gave his family quite a scare recently, that landed him in this cone of shame and made him our ! Fritz’s parents were out of town and he was staying with their daughter when he became extremely sick—the poor little fella couldn’t keep any food down!

He went to an emergency hospital, where they determined that during the shake up in routine, Fritz had eaten something he shouldn’t have and would need life-saving surgery to remove the object. The cost of the surgery wasn’t accessible at the emergency veterinarian, but thankfully, Fritz was referred to Mission Animal Hospital for the life-saving care he needed. He’s now happy and recovering with his family who loves him so much.

Mission is able to say “yes” to pets like Fritz because of our community of supporters who make generous contributions to our cause, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Can you help provide accessible, life-saving veterinary care to pets in need? Give now: https://donate.missionah.org/a/year-end

Hi friends. This isn't what we normally post about, but we need your help with something different this time. One of Mission's patients is lost! We are seeking your help to find him.

Graham was scheduled for surgery to repair a broken leg and when his parents were putting him in the car, he got spooked and ran off! He has been lost since November 26 and needs our help. Please take a look - have you see this fellow?

Important notes:
–This poor fella is likely using only 3 legs, as his femur is broken.
–He has a tag on his collar from before he found his new home that reads “Elvis”—it does not have a phone number on it.
–He was going to receive his microchip the day of his surgery, so he currently does not have one.

Thanks to our community for keeping an eye out for this sweet boy!

Happy Black Friday from Chuck the lab! This beautiful boy is our . He came to Mission Animal Hospital after eating a sock. He needed emergency, life-saving surgery so he and his family could keep living their best lives. Our veterinary staff were able to do same-day surgery to remove the sock, and Chuck is now happy and healthy.

One in three pets will need emergency veterinary care each year, but for too many that care is inaccessible causing families to make impossible decisions about their pet’s care.

This season of giving, consider a gift to Mission Animal Hospital to help families access life-saving care for their beloved furry family members. We’re profoundly grateful to our community, whose generous support makes life-saving care possible. Give now: https://donate.missionah.org/a/year-end
