A unique clinic operating at Our Place Society in Victoria is offering a vital lifeline to countless pets belonging to the city’s unhoused population.

The unhoused care deeply for their pets and these cute critters are the only thing they have in their entire world, says Megan McCormack, co-director of the Vets For Pets clinic.

Vets for Pets is open on the second Sunday of each month and looks at 30 to 60 animals a day.
