Help Dr. Weber Provide 24-Hour Affordable Pet Care

Dear Friends, Family, and Beloved Clients,

This is Dr. David Weber, reaching out to you with immense gratitude and excitement as we embark on an important new chapter for Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital. Since opening our doors in 2016, our hospital has been more than just a place of healing—it has been a community built on trust, compassion, and shared love for pets. Together, we’ve celebrated countless happy moments and supported each other through difficult ones. You’ve allowed us to be part of your family, and for that, we are truly blessed.

Today, I want to share with you an ambitious vision—one that will redefine how we care for your pets and ensure that no family ever has to face exorbitant emergency costs or worry about finding help during late-night crises. Our goal is to transform Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital into a 24-hour, full-service facility, offering cost-effective emergency-level services at regular day practice prices.

Why We Are Moving

While our current location at 1729 N. Grand Ave. has served us well for nearly a decade, it no longer meets the needs of our growing vision. The neighborhood has changed, and safety concerns have arisen, but the primary reason for relocating is to expand our services and provide 24-hour care in a new, state-of-the-art facility.

We’ve heard your frustrations about the high costs and long waits at specialty emergency hospitals. Many of you have shared stories of rushing your beloved pets to these hospitals during late-night emergencies, only to face bills running into thousands of dollars for a single night of care. We believe there’s a better way. Our vision is to create a hospital where emergency-level care is always available—at prices comparable to those of regular daytime services.

Our Vision for 24-Hour Care

Imagine a veterinary hospital where you can walk in with your pet at 2 am for an emergency, receive the same compassionate care you trust during the day, and leave without a financial burden. That’s what we aim to deliver. Our new Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital will offer:

24-Hour Emergency and Wellness Care: Whether it’s a late-night emergency or a routine wellness appointment, we’ll be here for you—around the clock.

Affordable Emergency Services: Say goodbye to the fear of astronomical emergency bills. Our goal is to provide life-saving care at reasonable, day-practice prices.

Safety and Comfort: A new location in a safer neighborhood, where clients, pets, and staff feel secure at all hours.

Advanced Facilities: The new hospital will feature upgraded surgical suites, advanced diagnostic equipment, and enhanced treatment areas, enabling us to handle everything from routine checkups to critical emergencies.

Stress-Free Environment: We will design spaces with your pets’ well-being in mind—separate waiting areas for cats and dogs, soundproof exam rooms, and calming environments to reduce stress.

Room to Grow: A larger facility will allow us to expand specialized services, including senior pet care, advanced diagnostics, and rehabilitation programs.

How You Can Help

This bold move and transformation will require significant investment. The total cost of relocating and expanding to a 24-hour facility is estimated at $300,000. Every dollar raised will go directly toward building a safer, more advanced hospital where we can provide unparalleled care for your pets.

Here’s how the funds will be used:

Finding and Securing a New Location: $50,000 for real estate fees, inspections, and deposits.

Renovations and Facility Upgrades: $150,000 to design and build a state-of-the-art hospital equipped for 24-hour operations.

Equipment Transport and Installation: $50,000 to move and upgrade our medical tools and technology.

Permits and Compliance: $10,000 to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Contingency Funds: $40,000 to cover unexpected challenges during the transition.

Together, We Can Build a Brighter Future

This is more than just a move—it’s a mission to ensure that every pet in our community has access to high-quality, compassionate care at any time of day or night. With your support, we can make this vision a reality. No more worrying about finding help in the middle of the night or facing overwhelming emergency costs. Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital will be there for you, 24/7, providing the care you trust at prices you can afford.

Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” This journey wasn’t part of our original plan, but we believe it’s part of a greater vision—one that we can achieve together.

Thank you for your love, trust, and faith as we take this important step forward. With your help, we’ll create a hospital that serves pets and families for generations to come.

With heartfelt gratitude,

David Weber, DVM
