"That’s what we do – we hold them close. We hold our dogs so close that parts of ourselves overflow and fall directly onto their furry heads. So when we look at our dogs we see our worst sorrows, our greatest joys and the deepest part of ourselves for which there is no name.
The story of our dogs is the story of us."
-William Kearney
Disclosure: FFF Veterinary Hospital is open Monday-Friday from 8:00am-6:30pm. Families are responsible for their Frosted Face’s care if FFF Veterinary Hospital cannot accommodate them during the week, after hours in the evenings, or on the weekend.
The goal of FFF Veterinary Clinic is to break down one barrier to senior pet adoption by helping to cover medical expenses for chronic disease. Because care at FFF is free and therefore in high demand, scheduling and funding prioritizes pets with senior-related medical issues.
We highly encourage families to establish care with the family veterinarian upon adoption and invest in pet insurance, with reasonable expectations to cover the cost of care for their Frosted Face when resources at FFF are not available. The Family is ultimately responsible for the timely and quality medical care of the Frosted Face upon adoption.
