Mission: Dr. Jean Dodds started Hemopet's non-profit animal blood bank and greyhound rescue/adoption program in 1986. Hemopet rescues retired racing greyhounds from several states, and they then donate lifesaving blood periodically for 12-18 months. Hemopet's licensed blood bank provides state-of-the-art blood components and supplies for transfusions to veterinary clinics nationwide and internationally. We strive to make transfusion medicine practical, safe and affordable.
Geographic areas served: Garden Grove, Orange County, California
Programs: Development of a national and international blood bank and an educational and clinical research and diagnostic network for animals. Currently serving over 2000 veterinary clinics nationwide and internationally.
I had a great experience volunteering at Hemopet! I really enjoyed working with the greyhounds. I mainly walked the greyhounds. The staff was helpful and nice. I am a high school student and my service hours were verified quickly. I would recommend this organization to anyone who enjoys working with dogs!
