Seattle Veterinary Outreach, which provides veterinary services for homeless and low-income people's pets, had its van stolen and trashed Thursday.
Thursday was a difficult day for a Seattle nonprofit that provides veterinary services for homeless and low-income people’s pets in Seattle, King and Snohomish Counties.Executive Director Rachele Raj said the vet clinic on wheels was reported missing from its storage garage early in the morning.“All of our medication was taken and all of our veterinary supplies were taken,” Raj said.
“The medication is hard because we had just ordered, thanks to a grant, a large amount of medication,” Raj said. “And that has all been taken.” Raj said while the van itself is insured, it is an older vehicle they converted, so it’s doubtful they’ll get much of a settlement to repair the damage. Buying new veterinary equipment and medications for the animals is a daunting expense because they have no way to provide veterinary care to the homeless and low-income communities they serve now.“We’ll work it out” she sighed. “This is going to give us a setback, but we’re gonna get back out there, as soon as we can.
