Established in 1911, Rose City Veterinary Hospital will be turning one hundred years old this year. As the first veterinary practice established in Portland, Rose City is proud to share this historic occasion with the public by offering an open house and celebration at the hospital's location on SE 8th and Powell BLVD, directly before the Ross Island Bridge on the east side. The birthday celebration will be held on Sunday, July 24th, from noon to 4pm, and all are invited to attend.
Bring the whole family along to enjoy an afternoon of fun and games, including free food and drinks for vegetarians and meat lovers alike, face painting, balloon animals, door prizes, hospital tours, and a pair of llamas for petting. For your furry family members, there will be a pet costume contest and professional photos with you and your pets. Pets may come dressed in any costume, but "Turn of the Century" pets are especially encouraged to come dressed like the guys and dolls of the early 1900s when the hospital first opened.
A representative from the Portland Animal Welfare (PAW) Team will be on site to educate the public about their mission and accept pet food and supply donations. The Oregon Humane Society will be bringing several dogs available for adoption to feature at the event as well as the adoptable cat that Rose City always holds a space for.
