What Is Pro-Bone-O? Pro-Bone-O is a non-profit organization that provides free veterinary services for the pets of people who are homeless in the Lane County area. The services are provided through clinics held the 2nd and 4th Sundays of each month throughout the year. The clinics are set up in space donated by St. Vincent dePaul at its Lindholm Service Center in Eugene, Oregon. What Are Pro-Bone-O's Goals? Pro-Bone-O has three primary goals:
Who Is Pro-Bone-O? In one word: volunteers. Approximately 18 veterinarians and veterinary technicians from the Lane County area donate their time and expertise. Each clinic is staffed by one veterinarian and 1 or 2 techs. Each clinic is coordinated by one Board member and 2 or 3 community volunteers. Many local veterinarians who are unable to volunteer at the clinics donate supplies, medicine, equipment, pet food, and flea products. Behind the scenes there are countless volunteers working to organize and run the clinics, raise funds, collect donated supplies, vaccines and medicines. All food provided to the pets is donated by area merchants and vets. What Services Does Pro-Bone-O Provide?
Who Does Pro-Bone-O Serve? Pro-Bone-O provides services to homeless people, those who do not have a fixed, regular, or adequate residence. We consider someone homeless in these situations:
How Can You Help? For Pro-Bone-O to continue to provide its services and to grow and expand, we need your help. Vaccines, medicines, and equipment take a lot of money and our veterinary community cannot provide enough to fill our continuing need. It is through donations that we are able to purchase these vital items. Please consider supporting this worthy cause; visit our Donations page. Your donation will mean that our clients will be able to keep and care for their pets. Just all all pet lovers do, they rely on their pets for love and companionship, and security in an uncertain world. You can support us in other ways as well. Volunteer: work at a clinic; help with fund-raising ideas; organize public speaking engagements; prepare and distribute newsletters, media presentations - the options are endless! Another way you can support Pro-Bone-O is through the purchase of items by joining iGive.com. For each purchase you make, a percentage of that sale is donated to Pro-Bone-O - an easy way to "donate" on the items you already buy. Have a question or comment?
