their annual “Pennies for
Pets” campaign. From March
through June, participating
VCA hospitals in San Diego
will be collecting donations by
encouraging clients to round
up their transaction amounts
to the nearest dollar or by
donating any amount.
Vilen Vlasov, Marketing,
Southwest Region shared
with Giving Back Magazine,
“We just wanted to show our
Vilen Vlasov
appreciation to the officers
for putting the community
they serve above all. When duty calls, they respond
without hesitation. They sacrifice much of their family
life to serve and protect. We also wanted to express
gratitude to their families! We are proud of our VCA
Hospital teammates and their goal to help the San
Diego Police Foundation
and their K9 Unit. Through
the VCA Charities Pennies
for Pets program, we are
dedicated to help the SDPD
to help protect the same
community we serve and
love.”
So far, VCA Animal
Hospitals in San Diego
successfully raised over
$30,000 to support the

Diego Police Foundation
Everyone can help! Visit any
