VIDEO: West Kelowna veterinary clinic offers free pet boarding for evacuees

Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital took in dozens of pets as the Mount Law wildfire ballooned on Sunday

A West Kelowna veterinary hospital has opened its doors to the pets of residents fleeing their homes due to the fast-moving Mount Law wildfire.

Even though the building is overflowing with evacuees91裸聊视频 pets, Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital91裸聊视频檚 Dr. Moshe Oz is still encouraging evacuees in need of shelter for their pets to come in.

The clinic has been helping evacuees and their furry friends for the last 11 years, providing shelter, food, and medication for animals who have been displaced.

When the evacuation alerts and orders were issued for several properties in the city91裸聊视频檚 Glenrosa neighbourhood due to the Mount Law wildfire, owner and veterinarian at the clinic Dr. Moshe Oz and his staff stayed at the site, taking in cats and dogs of owners who don91裸聊视频檛 have shelter for their pets after leaving their homes.

In the last few weeks, including last week, Oz said they were housing about 15 to 20 cats and dogs from the previous evacuation orders due to the White Rock Lake wildfire. But when residents were told to leave their homes late on Sunday night, their guest list ballooned to over 40 cats.

Oz added that this year is the worst year they91裸聊视频檝e seen by far, with the most displaced families and pets coming into the clinic for emergency boarding.

91裸聊视频淔or sure, it91裸聊视频檚 worse this year than the last few years,91裸聊视频 he said.

91裸聊视频淚 think this one is worst in that people weren91裸聊视频檛 prepared. Fires usually start small and take some time to get big, but this particular one (Mount Law) is quite fast and people didn91裸聊视频檛 have time to be as prepared.91裸聊视频

But he said they want every pet owner to have peace of mind knowing that they can board their pet somewhere safe and that it will be taken care of.

91裸聊视频淭he most important part is if somebody needs help, food and medication and boarding, any problem that we can help with pets, we can absolutely do it free of charge,91裸聊视频 he said.

Though Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital is not accepting monetary donations, they are accepting donations of extra towels, pet beds, kennels, as well as some cat food.

You can drop off these items at 112-2476 Westlake Road.
