Clinical Care


Lichter Dogs in Emergency Service

Clinical services are offered in some partner sheltering facilities in the Philadelphia area directly via the educational training opportunities and consultation work. We also provide community services with our partners via at-home visits, telemedicine, and other services.  By making the Penn Vet Shelter Medicine Program a resource, we are able to help animals in our community through direct care, recommendations, protocols, and strategies that directly improve animal welfare.

Richard Lichter Charity for Dogs

The Richard Lichter Charity for Dogs aims to provide a medical safety net for some animals that might have been previously unsavable. The gift enables shelter dogs with complicated conditions that go beyond the capacity of the shelter to receive the care they need at Penn Vet's Ryan Hospital.
