Animal Medical Hospital proudly supports the SPCA of Tampa Bay in a variety of ways. One of our major contributions is by doing surgeries for the Friends of Family Pets and Fix-a-Pit programs that help low income families spay and neuter their pets. We also donate any surplus of medical supplies and medications we acquire. In December 2006 Animal Medical Hospital raised over $200.00 by creating a canine and feline Christmas Stocking. Beginning in April 2007, we joined the Pet Bank program. Through this program we have donated over $265.00. Other fundraisers we have held in the clinic have also been very successful earning over $1190.00. NEW! We are now participating in the Beau's Buddies program to help the SPCA care for sick and injured animals. These animals are not in critical condition but require extended treatment. Due to the financial burden of long treatment protocols, we and other local clinics, treat the animals at cost and rehabilitate them until they are ready to be adopted. We will be taking donations, here at the clinic, if you are interested in helping the SPCA by supporting this program. In addition to all of this, we participate in the annual SPCA Pet Walk held in downtown St. Petersburg. This event is a 1.8 mile walk where teams collect donations for the SPCA Tampa Bay. Here are some highlights from each year we have participated: 2007 Our first year! Our team name was the "Animal Crackers" and we had shirts made by Donna Haughen. Money raised: over $1,192.00 2008
We earned our official SPCA Team t-shirts this year! We also had goody bags with our clinic information to give out to all of the walkers. Money raised: over $1,800.00 Walkers: Caroline Thomas DVM (Team Captain), Sandy, Katie, Sally, Kim, Jenni, Linda C, Linda B, Fallon, and Nicole K. We also had clients, friends and family registered to walk with us. 2009
Our most successful year yet! We won the First Annual Vet Challenge! Meaning we were the top contributing Veterinary Hospital to register. A trophy will be displayed in our office waiting room until next year, when hopefully we will win again! We had t-shirts made and our goody bags were well stocked. Money raised: $2283.00 WOW!
