Wellness and Vaccine Clinic
 Wellness and Vaccine Clinic provides general wellness exams and vaccines FREE of charge to residents of The Tower at Speer.
The Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation (CVMF) hosted a free wellness and vaccine clinic in the HUD housing facility The Tower at Speer on August 11.
 The Tower at Speer is a HUD (Housing and Urban Development) community that offers financially assisted, independent housing for those 60 years of age and for people with disabilities over 18 years of age. These pet owners can’t necessarily make the trip to a veterinary clinic to have their animal seen by a veterinarian – so the veterinarians came to them!
The Towers Wellness and Vaccine Clinic was generously brought to The Tower at Speer residents by:
Dr. Kevin and Judy Morris

Mercy Fund Challenge a Success
 The Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation in partnership with the Colorado’s Helping Hands Foundation is proud to announce the success of the Mercy Fund Challenge Campaign benefiting Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital.
In early April, the Colorado’s Helping Hands Foundation issued a challenge to grant to CVMF of $5,000.00 in the hopes that an additional $5,000.00 would be raised from our community of supporters by May 15, the day of Harrison Memorial’s annual fundraiser--Mutts and Models Canine and Celebrity Fashion Show.
Thanks to the generosity of five donors for $5,195.00 we were able to double the impact for the number of animals and people helped by the Mercy Fund. Thank you!
What is the Mercy Fund?
The Mercy Fund was created because even with the donor-subsidized veterinary care offered at Harrison Memorial, it is possible that, due to an owner’s total lack of financial resources, the only options to relieve an animal’s suffering are euthanasia or relinquishment to a humane organization. It is a primary goal of the Mercy Fund to keep the human-animal bond intact in the face of an acute medical issue that, when resolved, will restore the animal’s health.

Our Mission
The Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation, a 501(c)(3), was created to support education, scholarship, and service programs that improve animal health and welfare in Colorado. The involvement of veterinarians makes the foundation unique, allowing it to make the broadest impact on animal health and to offer services and insights that no other group can. In short, the foundation exists to make Colorado a better place for animals and people.
