Blood Donor Dogs Needed

Sun States: Blood Banks for Animals relies on the generosity of our guardian donors to enroll their companion animals and bring their loved ones to us during our blood drives.  All donors are pre-screened for major health issues and only those that meet our minimum physical and health requirements are enrolled into our blood donation program.
