HCC Vet Tech & Vet Assistant Programs

It is such an honor to partner with Kane's Krusade! It's such a great organization doing so many great things...

We're giving BIG Paws Up to Dr. York, her students and staff at the Holyoke Community College Vet Tech program. Yesterday was our second day participating in their free exams. Four Kane's dogs were seen, receiving vaccinations, bloodwork, heartworm preventative and flea/tick treatment. A total of 11 Kane's dogs were seen this year.

This program is invaluable to Kane's as it saves us Vet Fund resources that we can apply to other pet families. We also want to thank Family Krew member William D. and Board member Jill L. for transporting three pet families so they could receive these vital services.

We have some cats who need loving homes ASAP! They are SO SWEET. Beau is a handsome 6yr old neutered male playful kitty and Precious is a sweet older spayed female kitty.
Come visit them if you need to be convinced! If interested contact: [email protected].

The Vet & Animal Science Department at HCC would love to wish all the Vet Techs out there a happy Vet Tech Week! We are so grateful for all of you!

Just sharing the story of this sweet little guy in case he may be the right fit for someone out there looking for a new friend!

You may remember this sweet face from early August when Dewey was rushed to the ER with a spinal cord injury. 💔 While his road to recovery isn’t over just yet, we’re thrilled to share that Dewey is finally ready to start looking for his new home! 🏡💕

This snuggly, soulful pit bull-type pup is all heart. Dewey may not be your hiking buddy, but he will be your most loyal companion and constant source of love. ❤️

Thanks to the dedication of his foster family, Dewey has made great strides in gaining strength and mobility. While he’s still healing, our veterinary team believes he’d benefit from delaying his neuter surgery—so we’re looking for a foster-to-adopt situation to give him the best shot at recovery and stability.

Dewey would likely thrive with respectful kids and calm pets, and he needs a home that can provide above-average veterinary care—as well as someone with the physical ability to lift him when needed (up stairs, into cars, etc.).

Right now, Dewey weighs around 25 lbs, but he’s not yet full-grown. Due to his spinal injury, he’ll need help with stairs and mobility for the foreseeable future. But don't worry—what he lacks in mobility, he makes up for in pure, unconditional love.

If you have room in your heart and home for a very special pup, Dewey is waiting to meet you. 🐾💛
