Today Sarah, Cody, Salem and Tiggrrr went to the Blue Pearl to donate. Ashton was also along for screening.

Sarah did really well with her donation and Petra gave her a mani/pedi.

Salem and Tiggrrr both finished their donations and also got mani/pedi's.

Cody is pretty stubborn about moving off the table until he gets his cookies. Smart puppy knows cookies are apart of the process.

Ashton was screened as a blood donor and he will join our group saving lives. Ashton is the first of our pibbles that is a positive blood type.

Why Donate

Donated blood saves pets' lives. For the same reasons sick or injured people often need blood transfusions that replace blood loss due to traumatic injury or surgery. Transfusions also are used to treat animals whose blood systems are not functioning well. Often, these are pets with diseases that attack their immune systems or diseases that prevent their blood from clotting normally--such as happens when pets and people suffer heat stroke. Other common situations when blood products (blood or plasma) may be used are with critically ill patients with cancer, anemia, clotting problems, internal parasites, heat stroke, or traumatic blood loss (auto accident, bite wounds)

As well as fresh blood, in some circumstances, whole blood can be stored for anticipated usage or even divided into component parts and stored e.g. fresh frozen plasma. In the latter case, one donation can help two or three patients!
