With donations from the Luse Foundation and Mrs. Madlin Stevenson, who had a love for animals and their relationship to the elderly population, the center was able to open in and began accepting residents. Taking in animals of all types, the center provides a way for owners to ensure that their pets are cared for physically, emotionally and medically long after they are unable to due to illness or death.
Upon entering the facility, guests are greeted by Reveille IX, where she spends her days being pampered by center staff. The facility currently has 37 residents including 13 dogs, 17 cats, one bird, four rabbits and two donkeys, which are all cared for by center staff including Director Sam G.
The facility also includes positions for various part-time students employees and four live-in verterinary students, who provide all care for the animals on evenings, weekends and university holidays. Miller says. As the number of pet residents increases, the center is working to expand to include more spaces for animals to be cared for.
Most recently, the center is undergoing an expansion of 4, square feet to include five more dog rooms, three new cat rooms, more space for storage and laundry facilities. The center currently has over pets enrolled from 35 states and even in Singapore. For more information about the facility or how to enroll a pet, visit vetmed. Your pets are more than just animals.
