A fight is underway in Okotoks to save a long‑standing emergency veterinary clinic that many residents say has become essential to the community.
Southern Alberta Veterinary Emergency (SAVE), a 24/7 hospital that has operated for more than two decades, is set to close on Aug. 31.
The news has sparked an emotional response from local pet owners who rely on the clinic during late‑night emergencies, wildlife rescues, and unexpected injuries.
VetStrategy directed clients to Fish Creek Pet Hospital in Calgary, a clinic located about 17 kilometres away.
As the end of the month approaches, residents continue pushing back, hoping SAVE’s doors won’t close for good.
