DoveLewis Snapshot
Vision: We envision a world where every animal gets the care they deserve.
Mission: We care for every animal and every person who cares for them. Always.
Values:
- Access: Access (always) is our commitment to being there; being available. Because being open is about more than business hours, but rather, about being open to learning. Open to compassion. Available at all hours — always — for any critical procedure. And whenever support is needed most.
- Empathy: Empathy begins before our first interaction. Because even before we can share what we know, or do what we do in caring for animals, we must care for people. This is for everyone who works here; every veterinary professional who we support; and every client in need of our service.
- Responsibility: We are underscoring our promise to provide quality care to all who enter our doors. As a non-profit, we are measured differently. We invest more deeply in the care we deliver. This is our commitment to giving back: to care, to people, and to our communities.
- Community: Community engagement is our social contract for meeting the evolving needs of all the people and places in which we do business. That community is expanding as we expand our reach and diversify our offering. We understand that true engagement takes in as much as it gives and it strives to give more than is asked.
- Improvement: Continuous improvement is our oath to being better than ever. It’s about taking the necessary steps, every day, to be a better business. To be here when we are needed, whenever we are needed. To be better community partners, better listeners, better providers of care at all costs. Because better care is the bottom line.

DoveLewis is different than most veterinary hospitals, and our team of 200+ employees is proud of those differences.
1. We aren’t “owned” by anyone. DoveLewis is a nonprofit organization that was founded 50 years ago by local veterinarians and pet owners. Our staff, including management and the volunteer board of directors, are local, available, and deeply committed to the organization.
2. We invest in our community. With financial aid for families in need and medical aid for lost, stray, wild, and abused animals, we offer nearly half a million dollars in free medical care each year. With 50 years of service to the community, DoveLewis has treated hundreds of thousands of animals and is regularly recognized by community news organizations such as The Portland Business Journal and Willamette Week.
3. We are one of the top hospitals in the country. DoveLewis is one of only thirty hospitals in the country that has earned the rating of a VECCS Level 1 facility, meaning we have the resources to offer the highest-level of 24/7 critical care.
4. We emphasize teaching, training, and learning. DoveLewis is a teaching hospital and makes learning and training a priority on the hospital floor. Outside of the hospital walls, atdove.org, DoveLewis’ veterinary training platform, reaches thousands of veterinary professionals every year.
