As we grow, our giving will also grow. We’ll partner with more nonprofits that offer a better quality of life to our pets.

Proud Sponsor of Cherry Creek Dog Off-Leash Area
A longtime and devoted supporter of the Dumb Friends League, founder Dr Matt Chavkin donates his time and expertise by mentoring their veterinarians on ophthalmology care and procedures for their shelter patients. In 2023, Mountain Star recently donated $2K worth of new surgical instruments to the DFL to help upgrade their clinic.
Giving Back Recaps
Pickles came to see us at the ACVO free eye check event. He was born with a cleft lip and neurological damage to one side of his face. His dad, a paramedic, wanted Dr Chavkin’s reassurance that his eyesight isn’t affected. Pickles has an incredible sense of smell. His family adopted him to be a family dog but noticed his skill early on. At only 6 months old, Pickles is training to be part of the elite FEMA disaster cadaver search dog team. He’ll help bring calm to terrible situations and provide closure for families who lose loved ones. If selected, he’ll be 1 of 100 FEMA search dogs in the US (and only 1 of 2 in Colorado!).
