Giving back means a lot to us at North Shore Veterinary Clinic and is part of our commitment to the community.
Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA)
VOKRA is a committed group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of homeless or unwanted cats. We provide medical care, vaccinations, pet identification, and spay and neuter surgeries at reduced rates to help them achieve this goal.
North Vancouver District Animal Welfare Shelter
We provide Doctor’s visits to the shelter at no charge.
MS Walk
The North Shore Veterinary Clinic proudly supports the MS Walk. We greatly appreciate our clients support and donations in reaching our goals.
Katie’s Place Animal Shelter
The North Shore Veterinary Clinic proudly supports Katie’s Place Animal Shelter, a volunteer run, no-kill animal shelter located in Maple Ridge.
Bali Dogs
Along with the help of Pfizer Animal Health we provide vaccines, medicines, and parasite control products at no cost to help animals in need around the world. I Love Bali dogs is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of Balinese street dogs.
Portuguese Podengo’s
Pfizer Animal Health has also helped us support Podengo dogs in Portugal. A caring client of ours travels to Portugal to help the many street dogs in this country. We provide her with supplies to aid in their care.
Little Paws Rescue Society
Little Paws Rescue Society is a non-profit rescue group in Greater Vancouver that is dedicated to rescuing small dogs all over British Columbia. We provide discounted services and medications for the animals in their care.
B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation
We support B.C. Children’s Hospital by wearing our pins and jeans and donating to a great cause.
BCSPCA NATIONAL CUPCAKE DAY
The British Columbia Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. We are proud to support them by participating in the National Cupcake Day to raise funds on behalf of the animals of B.C.
North Vancouver School District
We support local schools with their career placement programs, giving students an opportunity to see if Veterinary Medicine is a career choice they would like to pursue.
Dr. Clemett goes to classes from kindergarten to high schools talking about Veterinary Medicine and pet care and we also host school groups at the clinic for tours. We provide donations to fundraising programs for local schools.
Our team in the community
Dr. Mary Plischke has volunteered as the veterinarian on site at many dog events including dog agility trials and canine search and rescue training events. She has also taught pet first aid classes at Canine Camps and for Search and Rescue groups.
Dr. Shaunne Gorrie worked previously as a veterinarian for the Vancouver SPCA. While there, she cared for many shelter animals. She didn’t have the heart to euthanize unadoptable animals and ended up taking many of them home, which is how she ended up with over 15 pets at one time.
Staff member Juanita makes regular trips on her own time to the North Vancouver District Shelter dropping off food, toys, towels, and blankets, etc. Some of these items are from our clinic that we no longer have use for, while others are donated by our generous clients.
