  • Who are the owners of Hannah the Pet Society?

    Hannah the Pet Society is a private company founded by Dr. Scott Campbell.

    There are 50 or so Pet lovers who are veterinarians and small private investors who love Pets that have funded the company. 

  • Why did this small group start Hannah?

    Hannah was started by people who care very much about Pets – and care that many are being put to sleep unnecessarily. They know that many families could benefit from having a Pet as part of their family but don’t because of the multiple barriers and high costs of Pet care. Hannah is designed to overcome those barriers. Because of their concern for Pets and their strong desire to “give back,” these individuals are heavily supporting Hannah in every way possible. 

  • Why is the name of the organization “Hannah the Pet Society”?

    Hannah the Pet Society finds its roots in rural Eastern Oregon. Dr. Campbell’s mother’s first name was Johannah, but her close friends and family shortened her name to “Hannah.” Hannah was a dedicated nurse who also cared for every lost or stray, hurt or sick, large or small, wild or domestic animal that crossed her path. She always found a way to help even when things looked impossible. She understood the importance of proper Pet care and went to great lengths to instill that knowledge, belief and behavior in everyone she met. Because of her example, her eldest son, Scott, started caring for Pets and injured wild animals at a very young age and had decided to become a veterinarian by the time he was 7. That devotion to his mother’s high ideals inspired Dr. Campbell to create the largest and most caring veterinary practice in the world – Banfield. This is the reason he has now created “Hannah the Pet Society” in honor of his mom – to truly make Pet care affordable without sacrificing quality. Read more about the Hannah story HERE.

  • If I can no longer care for my Pet, will Hannah see to it that my Pet gets into a good new home?

    Hannah generally recommends to the person wanting to re-home their Pet to keep it in their home until an appropriate Pet Parent is found to keep the stress to the Pet at a minimum. But if your Pet is accepted on a TLC Plan and you can’t keep it, we will find every adoptable Pet a new loving home.

  • How do you deal with older Pets that are given to you by a Member, or in cases when the Member dies and the Pet has nowhere else to go or has medical problems?

    We will match the Pet with a new family. Remember, we already have the Pet’s complete medical and behavioral record so if we match it with a new Pet Family, we know they are willing to spend the time it takes to provide care. And because we take care of all the medical care costs, this is not a barrier to anyone.

  • What keeps a Hannah Pet Parent from dropping off a Pet they no longer want at a shelter?

    Hannah makes it easy to give us a Pet on a TLC Plan that the Pet Parent no longer wants or can no longer properly care for. A Pet Parent just needs to notify us of their wishes, help us with a questionnaire that will make it easier to properly take care of the Pet, and we’ll either pick up the Pet from their home or they can drop it off at one of our Hannah Pet Hospitals. If a Hannah Pet is dropped off at a shelter, the shelter will know to contact Hannah due to the microchip we implant in every one of our Pets and we will retrieve it immediately.
