9th Annual Arizona Animal Fair
This event, scheduled Saturday February 20th 2010 at Reid Park, was primed to be the best one yet.
There were tons of vendors, animals for adoption, food, beer garden w/live music, activities for pets & people and FUN!
Unfortunately we were rained out! For those of you who made it out to the event in the morning, before the weather really hit, we greatly appreciate your participation and for visiting the Valley Animal Hospital Booths.
We hope to have a great event next year, weather permitting!
Here are some of the dedicated pet lovers who braved the weather!

Ericka Meyers-Fighting Hunger In Support of The Tucson Community Food Bank
In 2004, Ericka initiated a food drive within our hospital, challenging our staff to raise 500 pounds of food. Our staff eagerly accepted her challenge and surpassed her goal by collecting 1,400 pounds of food! Not only was Ericka impressed by the staff's accomplishment, but also our administration, local food bank, and most importantly, our community. Realizing the staff's uncontainable spirit, Ericka has continued to stage The Veterinary Food Drive annually, challenging veterinary hospitals all over the state of Arizona to rise to the challenge. As of 2007, The Veterinary Food Drive has contributed over 21,500 pounds of food to surrounding communities. To date, the food contributions made by the staff of Valley Animal Hospital has far surpassed that of our "challengers". Ericka would like to thank the staff for their generosity and charisma, Valley Animal Hospital for their sponsorship, and most notably, Ericka would like to thank Brendan DeSmet for his many hours spent helping organize, collect and package this enormous amount of food. Valley Animal Hospital is very proud of our staff and is eager to sponsor the Veterinary Food Drive for years to come. If you would like to make a food or monetary donation to the Tucson Community Food bank, please bring it to us during this year's Veterinary Food Drive from September 22nd through October 2nd.
