2025 Progress Report: From Vision to Vital Reality
A Milestone Year for the Pet Emergency Group (PEG)
🏥 Mission Accomplished: Launching Peninsula Pet Emergency
After three years of relentless networking, recruitment, and strategic planning, PEG achieved its core mission: bringing after-hours emergency care back to the Olympic Peninsula
The Launch: On June 6, 2025, Peninsula Pet Emergency officially opened its doors in Sequim, WA.
The Execution: We assisted in facility identification, recruitment, and operational setup to support Dr. Mason and her team.
The Impact: In just six months of operation (nights/weekends), the hospital has already become a lifeline for the community, saving or treating over 500 pets.
📢 Community & Digital Engagement
Our strategy of grassroots involvement created a groundswell of support that was critical to the hospital's immediate success.
Viral Awareness: When the hospital opening was announced, our digital presence exploded with 21,000 social media impressions and the new facility had 1,300 new website visitors in the first week.
Boots on the Ground: We executed over 20 community events, including fairs, business presentations, and two dedicated "Meet & Greets" (Special thanks to Olympic Bluffs Lavender Cidery and Lavender Farm).
Pet Lovers Day 2025: Led by Cheyenne Tuller, Laura Segil, and our incredible volunteers, we partnered with KSQM to host a premier event featuring 300+ attendees and 40 vendors.
