Jock and Gus

Last but certainly not least is Jock, the Golden Retriever an Gus the Labrador cross.  They are the emergency blood donor for the clinic and, behind the scenes, have already saved a number of lives of the clinic’s patients.

Gus arrived as a dumped animal as a 3month old puppy and has been with us for the last 10 years. Sadly due to his age and underlying chronic illness he has been retired from blood donations.

Jock sadly passed away in 2020 and will be greatly missed by all.
