PORTLAND, Ore. – DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital is open overnight for emergency walk-ins, restoring its decades-long, 24/7 schedule after a short hiatus.

The nonprofit hospital is combining its 37-year history of grief support with its medical expertise to open a hospice service to help pets and the people who love them find comfort through the animal’s final stages of life.

One of the top veterinary hospitals in the country, DoveLewis is now the latest local hospital to make dramatic changes to its services for one simple reason: there are not enough doctors and technicians.
