VCA Animal Hospitals announced that select VCA hospitals in
northeastern Texas are offering free boarding assistance for small
animals, including dogs, cats, birds and pocket pets to families
who are impacted by the severe weather and tornadoes that caused
fatalities and injuries, destroying homes and displacing
families.
"Our thoughts are with the many families in northeastern Texas
who have been seriously impacted by these tornadoes," said Art
Antin, Chief Operating Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals. "We are
extending free boarding for family pets that have been displaced so
families can feel confident their pets are safe and focus on their
priorities during this critical time. With local area shelters at
capacity, VCA is also housing pets for the Garland and Rowlett
animal shelters.”
Boarding assistance at participating northeastern 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 Hospitals will also offer a
free health assessment exam for pets that have been evacuated or
displaced as a result of the tornadoes. Pet owners are
encouraged to contact the American Red Cross or any one of the
following VCA hospitals for boarding assistance and more
information.
