Last weekend, many festive felines and decorated doggies came out to the hospital to visit with our very own Santa Paws, Dr. Mike Strickland.  Our Client Care Specialist and resident photographer, Julee, always does an amazing job capturing the visits with the Big Man and this year was no exception!  Take a look at her beautiful photos and our crazy cute patients below.

Our Pictures with Santa event is always extra-special because donations benefit Leesburg Veterinary Hospital’s Benevolent Fund.  We all know how difficult it can be to make decisions regarding veterinary care when finances are limited.  The LVH Benevolent Fund is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) endowment that provides support to those clients who cannot afford veterinary care.  This fund has been a source of hope for families, especially during times of critical and end-of-life care.  We are continually amazed and thankful for our client’s dedication to not only their own pet’s health, but the well-being of the entire Loudoun County pet community. This year, our clients’ generosity was  incredible with almost $1,000 being raised in just one afternoon!

If you’ve been thinking about donating to a charity this holiday season or before the end of the year, please consider our Benevolent Fund.   Your generosity may help save a special friend for someone in need.  To download our donation form, visit the “Hospital Forms” page of our website, or CLICK HERE. We thank all of our clients who are keeping the true spirit of Christmas alive this holiday season and embracing our motto of “Caring is What We Do Best!”
