The mission is to provide medical treatment for animals at the shelter as well as other animals in need in the community. During this time with many unemployed and facing other economic hardships, the animals are often at the bottom of the priority list. The organization is able to continue providing service to animals thanks to your support. They have helped many animals in dire need. With your help and the expertise of the veterinarians, they were able to give them a chance to be adopted by someone or a family. Sammie’s Friends has been doing this for 21 years, and it is still thrilling to see an animal get better and find a loving home as if it was the first time.

The vouchers will only cover the amount listed above. But, if you bring your pet to Animal S/N Clinic Auburn, most of the bill will still be covered. AnimalSave will give you the next lowest price.
