Boss came in this weekend after being rescued by emergency teams following an accident in Penn Hills. Using the help of our AVET’s fund we were able to provide treatment for Boss. Our AVETS Fund helps provide lifesaving care for pets injured in tragedies, service/assistant dogs who are sick or injured, and stray cats and dogs that are injured presented to AVETS by a “Good Samaritan”. To donate towards Boss’s care, and the care of other pets that fall into the above mentioned categories, visit: www.avets.com/the-avets-fund/
