When we come together, we feed hope.
In light of the upcoming reductions to federal food aid, our community is coming together to make sure no one is left behind. Join us for a Food Drive and help stock local pantries for families in need.

VCSS is accepting clean, dry, unexpired food items from now through December 20th.

One bag of groceries can change someone’s week. Let’s make a difference — one meal at a time. ❤️

Welcome Dr. Ross Luethcke to the VCSS Oncology team! Dr. Luethcke believes in a team-based approach to cancer care, working closely with other specialists, referring veterinarians, and pet parents to provide comprehensive support at every step of the journey. He recognizes that every family’s situation is unique and prioritizes open, compassionate communication to ensure treatment plans align with each pet’s needs and their family’s goals. Above all, he values quality of life—for both his patients and their caregivers—and strives to empower families with the knowledge and support they need to make informed decisions with confidence.

Outside of work, Dr. Luethcke enjoys exploring the outdoors, climbing rocks (and the occasional tree), discovering new music, experimenting in the kitchen, hosting Mario Kart tournaments with his family, and learning the art of napping from his cat, Sasquatch. Read his full bio at www.vcsspdx.com
