Transfusion
Program (follow this link for details about this program)
Just like people, animals often need transfusions when they are
injured or sick. The volunteer canine and feline blood donor
program relies on the help of pets in the community to meet this
need. Volunteers donate blood every 2-3 months and these donations
are used in the WSU teaching hospital and surrounding areas to save
the lives of dogs and cats in need of transfusions. Give your pet
the chance to be a hero!"
