Giving Back to Our Community: Port City Animal Hospital's Partnerships That Make a Difference
At Port City Animal Hospital, we believe that veterinary care goes beyond the walls of our hospital. As a locally owned veterinary hospital serving Pooler, Savannah, and surrounding Georgia communities, we're committed to improving the lives of both pets and the people who love them. One of the ways we do that is by partnering with organizations that share our passion for animal health, compassion, and community support.
Supporting Service Dogs Through the SD Gunner Fund
We are proud to partner with the SD Gunner Fund, an organization dedicated to helping Veterans and disabled children obtain and care for professionally trained service dogs.
According to the SD Gunner Fund:
"The SD Gunner Fund was created to assist Veterans and disabled children with the financial expense of owning much-needed service animals. Service animals require a variety of necessary items in order to perform their service. Service dogs are trained to support individuals with mobility, hearing, psychiatric, and brain/neurological disabilities. These dogs are professionally trained to meet the individual needs of their partner and complete tasks such as opening doors, picking up dropped objects, assisting with daily dressing, or pulling a manual wheelchair."
Service dogs provide life-changing assistance to their handlers every day. Their health and well-being are essential to the important work they perform, and we're honored to support an organization that helps make these incredible partnerships possible.
By working alongside the SD Gunner Fund, we hope to help ensure that these hardworking service dogs receive the veterinary care they need to remain healthy and continue serving their families.
Partnering with Renegade Paws Rescue
We are also excited to announce our partnership with Renegade Paws Rescue, a local rescue organization dedicated to giving homeless pets a second chance.
Animal rescues play an invaluable role in our community by rescuing abandoned, neglected, and unwanted dogs and helping them find loving forever homes. Through our partnership, we're proud to support Renegade Paws Rescue by helping provide veterinary care that prepares pets for successful adoption and long, healthy lives.
Whether a pet needs wellness care, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, treatment, or other medical services, our team is committed to helping rescue animals receive the compassionate care they deserve.
Educating Our Community
Giving back also means sharing knowledge. Throughout the year, our veterinarians enjoy participating in local school events, career days, and educational programs where they speak with students about veterinary medicine, responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, and the importance of preventive pet care.
We believe that educating the next generation of animal lovers helps build a healthier future for pets and inspires young people who may be interested in careers in veterinary medicine.
Our Commitment to the Community
Community involvement has always been an important part of who we are. Whether we're supporting service dogs that improve lives every day, helping rescue pets find their forever families, or educating local students about animal health, we believe that quality veterinary medicine should have a positive impact beyond our hospital.
We're grateful for the opportunity to work alongside organizations like the SD Gunner Fund and Renegade Paws Rescue, and we look forward to continuing these partnerships for years to come.
If you're looking for a veterinarian in Pooler or Savannah, GA who is passionate about preventive veterinary care, community outreach, pet wellness, and supporting local rescue organizations, we'd love to welcome you and your pets to the Port City Animal Hospital family.
Together, we can make a difference—one pet, one family, and one partnership at a time.
