>>JOEL: Hi this is Joel Bramwell, Practice Manager for Glisan Street Station, a brand
new hospital here in Portland.

We're partnering with the Multnomah County Animal Shelter, doing spays and neuters and
dentals to provide healty pets for adoption.
>>MEGAN ROMNEY: I'm Megan Romney, I'm a vet at Multonmah County Animal Services. I'm really
grateful for Banfield for helping us out. They did dentals on four of our cats, and
spayed and neutered four rabbits for us, and spayed one dog, and did a dental and mass
removals on another dog. So that's super helpful for us, and we're really grateful for the
partnership.
>>JOEL: One of the great reasons we like to partner with Multnomah County Animal Shelter
is that often the pets they receive are in poor health and it's a great opportunity for
us to provide services so that they can be adopted as a healthy pet to a great home.
We have a pet named "Zeke" who is an older terrier breed, who has severe dental disease
and a couple masses that need to be removed. And, with a little bit of care and love, Zeke
can be adopted for the remainder of his life to a very special home. So, we excited to
be a partner in that.
>>MEGAN: For Zeke, it's a huge benefit because that would have been a huge expense for an
adopter to incur, and, so that will make him very much more adoptable now, and just his
quality of life is greatly improved.
>>JOEL: For us, it's great to be here and to be committed to seeing these pets healthy
in this neighborhood.
