VCA Animal Hospitals Offers Free Boarding for Pets Affected by Wildfires near Spokane, Washington

Business Wire
VCA Animal Hospitals announced that select eastern Washington
VCA hospitals are offering free boarding assistance for small
animals, including dogs, cats, birds and pocket pets, to families
who are impacted by the wildfires in the Spokane area. The Hart
Road fire, Spokane Complex fire, and the Deep North fire have
scorched more than 12,000 acres, damaged local structures and
forced hundreds of residents to evacuate.
“Our thoughts are with the many families who are being impacted
by these devastating wildfires,” said Art Antin, Chief Operating
Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals. “We are extending free boarding
for pets that have been displaced by the fires so families can be
assured their animals are safe and be able to focus on their
priorities during this critical time.”
Boarding assistance at participating Spokane area VCA hospitals
is based on space availability. Pets should be current on
vaccinations, but in case they are not, VCA veterinarians will
update vaccinations free of charge. VCA will also offer a free
health assessment exam for pets that have been evacuated or
displaced as a result of the fires.
In addition to free boarding assistance, VCA hospital employees
are hosting collection drives for needed supplies to help victims.
Pet owners are encouraged to contact the American Red Cross or any
of the following VCA hospitals for boarding assistance and more
information.
