It looks like Okotoks is paws-itive about its new vet clinic!
The Okotoks community is in for a welcome surprise as some staff members from the recently closed Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency (SAVE) clinic have announced plans to open a new emergency veterinary clinic in the area.
The news was shared at SAVE’s farewell event, “Paws in the Park(ing) Lot,” held on Sunday, Aug. 30, which served as a final send-off for the clinic.
According to practice manager Cheryl Brown, the new clinic will operate from a yet-to-be-revealed location, with a confirmed timeline for its opening still pending.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the new clinic’s details, SAVE has confirmed that the financial support it has received will ensure the new operation moves forward.
The farewell event also featured a variety of activities, including multiple rescues showcasing adoptable animals, local vendors, and food trucks offering specialty treats, such as pup cups and wood-fired pizzas.
The permanent closure of SAVE, located at 322233 15 St. E. in the Foothills, took place on Sunday, Aug. 30.
