We just had to share this incredible story from Creekside Pet Care Center 💙
Braveheart, the puppy in the photos, was a rescue that was brought in to the hospital dangerously anemic and in urgent need of help. Seeing what was happening, McKenzie, one of the technicians on the CPCC team, made the decision to bring her own dog, Zeke, into the hospital to prepare a life-saving blood transfusion, ultimately saving Braveheart's life and giving him the opportunity to return to the rescue he is being fostered at and find his forever home and family. It's amazing to see the care and compassion that our hospital team members show day in and day out for the pets in their community, and we are so proud to get to work alongside veterinary professionals like McKenzie each and every day.
