July 28 - Canine and Human Blood Drive at the ARL
The ARL, in conjunction with
Miller–Keystone Blood Center, VCA Sinking Spring Animal Hospital, and
The Mathew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania
will be holding blood drives for both canines AND humans on July 28th
2009 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the shelter.
The Miller-Keystone Bloodmobile will
be at the shelter to process the human donors and the Mathew J. Ryan
Bloodmobile will process the canine donors. There will be separate
waiting areas for humans and canines and there will be ARL staff on hand
to sit with canines while their humans donate. (Be assured that the
staffs of both bloodmobiles will take great care of human and canine
donors, and will operate in separate bloodmobiles so there is no
possibility of contamination or mixing of human and canine donations.)
If your dog is between the ages of 1
and 6 and weighs between 55 and 150 pounds he/she may be able to be a
donor. If you choose to have your dog be a donor, he/she will receive
the following: a complete drug screening at no charge to you, one case
of canned or one bag of dry Science Diet, and a special gift bag from
the bloodmobile staff.
If your dog has a heart murmur or ever
had a seizure, has been recently sick or on medication within two weeks
of the donation, has been vaccinated or had surgery within four weeks of
the donation, or has ever received a blood transfusion, he/she will not
be able to donate.

donations can be made by calling Jeannine at VCA Sinking Spring at
