Dogtoberfest

Sip, Socialize & Support!

Join DoveLewis and Lucky Labrador for Dogtoberfest, a dog-friendly afternoon celebrating the lifesaving work of the DoveLewis Blood Bank. Meet some dogs who donate blood, hear stories from blood donors and transfusion recipients, and learn how donated blood helps pets in need.

There’s plenty of fun to go around, too! Enjoy music from XRAY.FM, games, vendors, and a toy drive benefiting the Blood Bank, with beer and hot dogs available for purchase. You can also learn how your pet could become a blood donor and help save other animals.

No admission required. Come raise a glass, meet some lifesaving heroes, and support the DoveLewis Blood Bank!

Supporting the DoveLewis Blood Bank

When a pet needs blood, every minute matters.

Dogs and cats can need blood transfusions for many reasons, including severe trauma, blood-clotting disorders, toxin exposure, anemia, cancer, autoimmune disease, and blood loss during surgery.

Community-based animal blood banks are exceedingly rare. DoveLewis operates one of the only nonprofit, ethically run veterinary blood banks in the country, providing blood for more than 700 transfusions every year. Our volunteer canine and feline blood donors help save lives at DoveLewis and supply veterinary hospitals and clinics across the region and around the country.

This lifesaving program is powered by our blood donors and our community. Your support helps keep blood available for pets when they need it most.
