The Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank (EVBB) reports, “Most large veterinary blood banks use blood from a confined colony of canine donors—dogs who reside in a housing facility and donate blood every month.”

As a humane alternative, the EVBB’s goal “is to provide ‘humane blood’—collected from donors who are beloved pets.

Donors visit EVBB donor sites every 2 months to donate, thus eliminating the need to keep dogs in cages for this purpose.”

The BAAC supports the EVBB’s goal of providing “humane blood,” and as such serves as a donor site once every 2 months for the owners of companion dogs who bring their dogs to the BAAC to donate blood.
