Saving play days one leg at a time.

OUR MISSION

Dr. Lee Wilwerding, a devoted veterinarian with 30 years of experience, offers exceptional surgical services for dogs, cats, and small companion animals in the Colorado Springs region. The esteemed founder of Play Another Day Non-Profit Pet Surgery, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established the practice with a noble objective. This mission aims to assist families in maintaining their beloved pets during situations where crucial medical interventions or life-saving surgeries are hindered by financial constraints.

Play Another Day aims to protect the special connection between humans and animals by avoiding situations where pets are put down or separated from their families due to financial constraints. We strive to safeguard joyful moments by avoiding the of amputating limbs in cases where the injury is treatable but the necessary funds are lacking.

Our goal is to use donations and grants effectively to support eligible families in covering the costs of their pet's surgical interventions.
