Check us out in the news! We've been off to a great start over the past month, and we're thrilled to have provided much-needed care to Ella and many other pets in the area.

As Dr. Buck notes in the article, we're already at capacity most nights, so we're hard at work to get more doctors on board and to find a larger, more permanent facility. As always, you can donate to us via our website, www.RocEmergencyVet.com 🐾

It has been just over a month since the only emergency vet in the area offering overnight care opened in Rochester, and it's already making a big difference.

02/22/2024

We are officially a 501(c)(3) designated charity organization!! Donations made to REVS are officially tax deductible, and donations made previously may retroactively be tax deductible. Find more information on our website:

We are happy to announce that we have been approved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization!

02/09/2024

Since we opened last Thursday, we've been able to help over 180 pets!!

Thank you to the community (and our rockstar staff!) for patience with us this past week as we got into our rhythm. We're thrilled that we've already made such a big impact, and we're excited to see that number keep growing 🐾

02/01/2024

TODAY'S THE DAY!!!!

We are as excited as you are! We open at 7 PM tonight for our first overnight shift! It's going to be overwhelming, wonderful, and a little scary! We want to give everyone a couple of reminders to make sure every pet has the smoothest journey with us:

1) We are a lot smaller than VSES was, and smaller than most of the other emergency facilities in the surrounding areas. We will not have the capacity to see every pet. Like a human ER, we will need to prioritize the most critical cases. You may get redirected to another emergency facility. That brings us to:

2) Please call ahead if possible. We can help you assess your pet's situation and determine if we have the capacity to provide the care they might need. We can also collect your information and begin to check your pet in, making it easier for you when you arrive.

3) We will be open for emergencies NIGHTS and WEEKENDS only. The wonderful Animal Hospital of Rochester is providing us with a space to work, but they are maintaining their general practice in the space during the day. Animal Hospital of Rochester is a separate organization, and is not taking emergency patients during their hours.

4) Our staff truly cares about the pets we treat and the Rochester Community. Emergency care is stressful for everyone involved. Please treat our staff with kindness and respect, especially as we get through the hiccups to get the hospital up and running. We promise to treat you and your pets with compassion and the best care we can provide 🐾

Our phone number is:

585-775-0020

All of our contact information will be updated in our profile here and our website by the time we open this evening! Thank you for all of the community support that has allowed us to open today. We can't wait to start giving back to everyone that's helped us on this journey!!!

(We were going to share a picture of the hospital, but our sign isn’t up quite yet, so instead please enjoy this picture of Dr. Ingersoll’s puppy, Anvil)

01/16/2024

We're just a couple weeks from opening our doors on February 1st! We've been busy getting everything ready and we can't wait to start serving the community 🐾

As always, you can make donations to us on our website, https://rocemergencyvet.com Every donation is appreciated and will help us provide better care!

The REVS Team wants to wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year weekend! We can't wait for 2024!!

And if you need to make any last minute 2023 donations don't forget to stop by our website before the new year 😉

Together with our Rochester Community, we better the lives of animals through life-saving care and we better the lives of our veterinary community by prioritizing our people.

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded $100,000 in funding through Monroe County's COMIDA program to help us purchase equipment needed to open our Emergency Hospital.

Keep an eye out for our Board of Directors on the local news today! Dr. Ingersoll spoke about our fundraising efforts, current timeline, and work with our local government and officials to help us bring the best care possible to Rochester.

We have linked a few of the articles/video segments on a post on our website in case you don't have a chance to watch the news live tonight!

We are honored to announce that we will be the recipient of $100,000 in funding for the purchase of necessary hospital equipment through Monroe County's COMIDA Assistance program.

We have listened to the feedback we've been seeing about our new logo and have added a distinct break to the EKG line so that it doesn't look like a flatline; it was always intended to just be an underline to help balance the logo. As always, we appreciate our community's passion for REVS 🐾

12/13/2023

🎊🚨 The moment everyone has been waiting for is here! 🚨🎊

Congratulations to the winner of the Logo Design Contest, Jen C!!

Today is a sad and scary day for our Rochester community. As you may have seen, today, the only emergency veterinary hospital, VSES, closed their doors for good. We understand the uncertainty that Rochester’s pet community is facing right now and want to reassure you that emergency care will once again be available in our community. In a short few months we will be opening our hospital, Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services. Keep an eye on our website for updates and fundraising information!

To the staff of VSES (managers, technicians, customer services reps, assistants, doctors, cleaners and any others), we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the years of service, dedication, and love you have given to Rochester and all its pets! Please reach out to us if there is anyway we can assist you. Additionally we're looking to fill job vacancies throughout the hospital. So, if we already know you say hi again, if we've never met, reach out and introduce yourself. Let's keep moving forward to get REVS up and running asap.

🐾 Join Our Mission: Make a Difference as a Practice Manager in an Exciting Start-up Venture 🐾

Are you a compassionate and dedicated manager looking to make a real impact on the lives of animals and your community, while also being part of an inspiring start-up venture? Look no further! We invite you to be a founding member of our team at the Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services (REVS), a non-profit emergency clinic with a heartwarming mission.

🌟 Our Mission Statement:
"Together with our Rochester community, we better the lives of animals through life-saving care and we better the lives of our veterinary community by prioritizing our people."

Join our team of passionate professionals who share your dedication to bringing veterinary emergency care back to Rochester and the excitement of building something great from the ground up. Your work will have a profound impact on animals and their families, and you'll have the unique opportunity to help shape the future of our clinic.

With so much of the veterinary space being taken over by corporations, we wanted to provide an alternative option. One where the local community, local people, and local pets were the focus.

🐕 Life-Saving Care: At REVS you'll have the opportunity to support a medical team providing critical, life-saving care to animals in their time of need. Every day, you'll make a difference in the lives of furry friends and their families.

🤝 Community: Our Rochester pets have already lost overnight care and are losing all emergency care shortly, and we are working hard to bring these critical services back to this area!

🌟 Collaboration: Our commitment to collaboration means your voice will be heard, as you work as part of a team dedicated to meeting the needs and improving the lives of our staff.

🙏 Respect: We value and respect all team members, animals, and clients. You'll work in a supportive and inclusive environment where your expertise is recognized and appreciated.

💖 Non-Profit Commitment: REVS operates as a non-profit, which means that the money the clinic generates goes back into improving the clinic's facilities, enhancing benefits for our staff, and creating funds for charity cases, rather than going into the pockets of investors. Your work will directly contribute to the betterment of the clinic and the welfare of animals in need.

Be a part of the beginning of something extraordinary at REVS, where your passion becomes purpose, your expertise is rewarded, and your commitment will directly support our mission of compassion and care. 🚀🐶🐱🐾
