October 2026 EveryPet Newsletter
October is bringing plenty to celebrate at EveryPet! ❤️ From sharing exciting news and pictures of the pets who put smiles on our faces, a lot is happening this month.
We’re also celebrating our team and showing some extra appreciation for the people who make our work possible.
Thank you for being part of the EveryPet community and helping us keep pets healthy, support the people who love them, and keep pets in the home.
Team Appreciation Week
Upcoming Events & Recent Developments
Veterinary students will join us on Sunday, October 25, for another hands-on learning experience that helps them build valuable surgical skills and gain real-world training alongside EveryPet veterinarians and community volunteers.
These opportunities help prepare the next generation of veterinarians to care for pets in their communities. We can’t wait to share more with you!
Thanks to your generosity and dedication, we raised more than $120,000 to support spay/neuter services for community cats!
This marks one of our most successful Rosie’s Fund campaigns yet, helping more cats get the essential care they need. Thank you for making this possible!
EveryPet to be Honored With Community Award
We’re excited to announce that EveryPet will be honored with a Community Award in Animal Welfare by our professional development partner, Lincoln Memorial University’s College of Veterinary Medicine at Orange Park.
The Award will be presented at UNLEASHED 2026: Animal Welfare & Scholarship Benefit Dinner at LMU, with details below:
⏰ Thursday, November 5, 2026 | Reception at 5 p.m., Dinner at 6 p.m.
📍 335 Crossing Blvd., Orange Park, FL 32073
Tickets are $115 each, with proceeds benefiting the Rick DuCharme Veterinary Scholarship Fund.
No one should have to choose between feeding their pets and feeding their family.
That’s why our Pet Food Bank exists: to help qualifying families experiencing financial hardship keep their beloved pets healthy, nourished, and at home.
You can help, too! Right now, we have an urgent need for dry cat food.
Cats are often overlooked when it comes to pet food donations, but their well-being is just as important as that of our other furry friends. Please consider donating through our Amazon Wishlist, dropping off pet food at one of our donation locations, or making a financial contribution.
Your support helps keep the Pet Food Bank stocked and makes an immediate difference for pets and the families who love them.
