KHS Veterinary Lifesaving Center Presentation

Over the last decade, Kitsap Humane Society has transformed our campus and animal welfare in Kitsap County. But our veterinary facilities are outdated, overcrowded, and inadequate. Every pet that comes to KHS requires individualized care and attention, but over the last five years, the percentage of pets admitted to the shelter requiring critical medical treatment has grown from 33% to 50%.
In addition, KHS recognizes that too often, low-income pet owners in our community cannot afford the urgent veterinary care they need and want for their pets. Lacking resources or assistance, families often face the painful choice of having their pet go untreated… or having to surrender their pet to KHS.
But we know there’s a better way.
More than ever, it’s time to provide our community’s pets in need with a veterinary facility that matches the excellence of our work and sustains our high lifesaving rate.
And it is time for Kitsap Humane Society to take the next step in developing a stronger safety net in our community to keep pets and people together whenever possible.
The construction of our Veterinary Lifesaving Center, including the development of a community clinic is the next crucial step KHS can take to provide a full spectrum of innovative animal welfare programs and facilities.
