Providing a Vital Safety Net for Pets and Their People
When the Kitsap Humane Society and other animal welfare organizations lobbied the Washington State legislature in 2019 to change the law to allow humane societies to perform low-cost surgeries, it was with the Russ and Linda Young Veterinary Lifesaving Center in mind.
We envisioned a place where people could receive care for their beloved companion animals in the face of difficult financial circumstances. Where a person’s ability to keep and love their pets isn’t determined by their bank account. A place that kept families together.
Today, that vision is a reality. The Russ and Linda Veterinary Lifesaving Center opened exclusively for emergency referrals from our community veterinary partners in September 2023 and will open to the general public who qualify in January 2024. Among the features and services provided:
Reduced-fee veterinary services to families who are low income
Expanded and enhanced treatment and surgery areas for critical care patients
Separate, quieter, and less stressful recovery rooms for shelter pets to heal after surgery
On-demand access to x-rays, ultrasounds, and other diagnostic equipment
A specialized dental suite to provide greater individualized care
