Ellwood Park Wellness Clinic 11/7/21

Returning to Ellwood Park for the 10th year was a major highlight of 2021. Ellwood Park was the site of the 2nd-ever Clinic all the way back in 2011 and we're always touched by the dedicated Pet Parents who start lining up for services hours in advance - sometimes even before our volunteers arrive!

We were also delighted to have bilingual volunteers to serve the Hispanic population of Ellwood Park! We're so grateful for these volunteers and that we are able to address the changing needs of the community in this way.

For the first time we welcomed 3 volunteer groomers at Ellwood Park! Our groomers provide nail trims to nearly every dog at the clinics and also help with any matted dogs. With Ellwood Park always being our busiest clinic of the year, it was a huge help to have 3 groomers on-hand.

Because the Vaccine Stations were responsible for more services than ever this year and with Ellwood Park historically having been our busiest clinic of the year, we were so fortunate to have 3 veterinarians staffing the clinic for the first time. We also learned that all 3 vets are bilingual. How amazing!

Special thanks to Dr. Michelle Myers, our long-time volunteer vet, as well as Dr. Karen Burks and Dr. Ana Hodgson, courtesy of our Maryland SPCA partnership.

B-More Dog and our partner organizations provided a total of 557 services to the 137 dogs attending the clinic!
