Mission
To build, grow, and sustain access to after- hours emergency pet care on the Olympic Peninsula
Our Story
Pet Emergency Group is a volunteer run non-profit that was formed and is driven by a powerful belief: no pet, or its humans should suffer due to a lack of accessible, local, after hours emergency pet care. We are committed to changing this by bringing after hours pet emergency care to the Olympic Peninsula. Pet Emergency Group is more than an organization, we are a community of passionate pet guardians making a tangible difference in our pets well being.
The establishment of an emergency pet care facility on the Olympic Peninsula is not just a service- it is a lifeline for our pets who deserve access to care at all times. With your support we can make this vision a reality. Together, we can provide a safety net for our furry family members and ensure that local emergency care is not out of reach.
The Challenge
The Olympic Peninsula is home an estimated 61,000 pets, yet lacks after hours emergency care.
A few pet lovers share their struggles with having to travel hours away for emergency care for their pets.
Our vision is that pets on the Olympic Peninsula have access to care at all times.
