A Eugene woman and her fluffy gray Keeshond, Tikva, flew to New York last month as invited guests for the 9/11 Day of Remembrance. Tikva is a therapy dog, and she and her handler, Cindy Ehlers, spent two weeks at Ground Zero following the terrorist attacks a decade ago, giving comfort to rescue workers.
Rose City Veterinary Hospital will host its 100th birthday celebration Sunday, July 24, noon-4, at the clinic in SE Portland. The festivities, including refreshments, games, prizes, and more, will provide fun for the whole family, and all are invited to attend.
Several nonprofits with whom Rose City works will help celebrate. The Oregon Humane Society will have adoptable dogs on site and The Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team will be in attendance
This centennial is not only a landmark for Portland’s first veterinary hospital, but honors an interesting time in Portland’s history.
