Providing veterinary care for pets of the economically disadvantaged.
Established in 1990, Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital provides veterinary care for pets of the economically disadvantaged. In 2009, Harrison Memorial medical staff provided veterinary services to more than 9,000 sick and injured animals.
Harrison Memorial also provides spay and neuter surgeries to the general community in an effort to help control pet overpopulation, as well as providing discounted spay/neuter surgeries to homeless animals in the care of rescue agencies.
Harrison Memorial is the largest not-for-profit animal hospital in Colorado and is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association at its highest level, symbolizing our commitment to the highest standards of patient care.
Why is this program important?
While fees for veterinary services at Harrison Memorial are already significantly subsidized, care is often still unaffordable for many clients. Animal owners are often deterred from having their pets treated because they see veterinary care as an unnecessary or unaffordable expense, especially when faced with the inability to meet their most basic financial needs. Because of this, animal owners often resort to relinquishing their animals (often to overcrowded shelters that are forced to euthanize) or letting their animal become stray, often without current vaccinations or having been spayed or neutered, further contributing to diseased and overpopulation.
