Take the time to learn about this situation. Ask questions to nonprofits and organizations that have frequent interactions with this business before jumping to conclusion. Without Dr. Sullivan and his team of life savers, animal welfare as we know it in Whatcom Co will suffer.
🐾 Happy Tails Happy Homes Stands with Dr. Sullivan and Bellingham Veterinary 🐾
As an organization that works every day to save the lives of animals in our community, we feel compelled to speak up in support of Dr. Sullivan and Bellingham Veterinary due to recent allegations.
Recent allegations made against Dr. Sullivan and Bellingham Veterinary have raised concerns throughout our rescue community. While these remain allegations, we believe it is important to share our own experiences and the impact this clinic has had on countless animals and families in Whatcom County.
Bellingham Veterinary has been one of the most important partners our rescue has ever had.
❤️ They have provided deeply discounted and, at times, free veterinary care to help rescue animals receive the treatment they desperately need.
❤️ Without Bellingham Veterinary, our rescue simply could not operate at the same capacity or save as many lives as we do today.
❤️ We can pull medical cases from shelters, help owners with spays and neuters and veterinary expenses because of Bellingham Veterinary.
❤️ They have consistently cared for animals belonging to unhoused community members and low-income families who otherwise would have nowhere to turn.
❤️ Dr. Sullivan offers payment plans that are not based on credit approval, making veterinary care accessible to people who may not qualify elsewhere.
❤️ Time and time again, we have watched this clinic prioritize the well-being of animals over financial considerations, helping families facing difficult circumstances.
❤️ Dr. Sullivan answers calls after hours, takes emergency cases, and steps in when other clinics are unable to accommodate appointments or when owners are struggling financially.
❤️ He stays late, comes in early, works weekends, and does everything he can to help animals in need.
The reality is that if Bellingham Veterinary were no longer available to our community, many animals would lose access to care. Rescue organizations, low-income families, and vulnerable pet owners would be left with fewer options, and animals would suffer as a result.
Today, we are asking our community to share your stories.
If Dr. Sullivan or Bellingham Veterinary has helped your pet, your family, your rescue, or someone you know, please tell that story. If you have witnessed the compassion, generosity, and dedication of this clinic, we encourage you to share your experience.
We want to collect as many stories as possible about the impactful work of Dr. Sullivan and Bellingham Veterinary in one place so they can be shared with Dr. Sullivan and his legal team. Every story matters and helps demonstrate the positive difference this clinic has made in our community.
We have hundreds of stories of lives saved, families supported, and animals given a second chance because of the work done at Bellingham Veterinary. We will be sharing those stories, and we invite others to do the same.
Our community deserves to hear from the people whose lives and animals have been directly impacted.
Please help us in this fight. Our community cannot afford to suffer the loss of such a pivotal veterinary clinic. Please join us in showing support for Dr. Sullivan, the staff at Bellingham Veterinary, and the many animals whose lives have been changed because they were willing to help when no one else could.
