The fourth annual “Heroes Helping Heroes” pet fair will be May 3 from noon to 5 p.m. at Cloud Nine Pet Services at Kimberly Memorial Park in Breinigsville, Penn.
The joint human and animal blood drive is sponsored by Valley Central Emergency Veterinary Hospital Animal Blood Bank and Cloud Nine Pet Services, in conjunction with Miller-Keystone Blood Center.
“The goal [of the event] is to make people aware of the importance of donating blood,” said Kimberly Rohrbach, CVT, supervisor of the animal blood bank. “The demand for animal blood products has grown as owners have become more knowledgeable and pet care technology has become more sophisticated.”
Recruitment of potential donors is essential to keep up with the demand for blood supplies, Rohrbach added.
