Our mission is to improve the lives of animals by harnessing the power of their immune systems to change the way cancer is treated.

Public Announcement: We had a parvo-positive puppy come in today, with a very strong positive result, indicating a highly contagious strain in our community. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind pet owners about the importance of vaccinating their dogs and seeking treatment at the first sign of illness.

We carry a parvo treatment called Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody, which can be lifesaving if the virus is caught early. Prevention through vaccination is far safer and more cost-effective than this treatment.

Also, remember Parvo can live in an environment/fomites for months and can only be killed by bleach or bleach products. If your puppy is not fully vaccinated, it is a good idea to keep them away from public spaces where other dogs have been.

If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call (208) 325-4510.

Last week we hosted a low-cost community clinic at MCPAWS Veterinary Hospital with attending veterinarian Dr. Sheila Newenham. During the week, we spayed or neutered 34 animals and microchipped 26 animals at low or no cost.

This clinic cost the MCPAWS organization $4,087 from our Community Fund. We are proud of this work and happy we could help our community find affordable pet care during times of financial difficulty. We are dedicated to ensuring our community has access to veterinary care, regardless of economic status.

You can ensure the continuation of these programs by making a donation to MCPAWS: https://mcpaws.org/donate/make-a-donation/

Thank you all for your continued support.

We are very excited to announce the return of Dr. Nancy and Dr. Steve Basinger to the MCPAWS organization. The Basingers served as the MCPAWS shelter veterinarians for years before they retired. Now, they have agreed to come out of retirement to help MCPAWS Veterinary Hospital while we continue our search for a more permanent veterinarian. We are so appreciative to both Dr. Nancy and Dr. Steve for their skills and support!

They are now taking appointments at MCPAWS Veterinary Hospital! Be sure to thank them when you see them! To schedule an appointment, please call (208) 325-4510.
