Wildfire Response & Resources

Urgent Request: Veterinary Support Needed for Evacuated Pets

Earlier this month, the Animal Health and Welfare Committee issued a call to members to support emergency response efforts. MVMA members stepped up without hesitation, offering their time and expertise.

At this time, additional assistance is no longer required.
