Doney Coe Pet Clinic

We provide no-cost veterinary care to companion animals of qualifying low-income and unhoused individuals across Washington

Doney Coe Pet Clinic is proud to be the first no-cost veterinary clinic in the nation dedicated to serving individuals experiencing homelessness and low income. Our name honors our founders—Dr. Doney and Dr. Coe—whose pioneering vision continues to shape every aspect of our work. In 2018, we renamed the organization from The Doney Memorial Pet Clinic to Doney Coe Pet Clinic to formally recognize Dr. Coe’s lifetime of service to the community. At the age of 50, Dr. Charles 'Bud' Doney shifted his life’s focus toward giving back. He brought supplies from his for-profit clinic and, alongside his wife Nancy, treated two dogs at the very first free clinic, held in a small chapel at the Union Gospel Mission. In 1986, Dr. Stanley 'Stan' Coe made a promise to carry on his friend’s legacy—and he delivered. Taking the reins of the clinic, Dr. Coe formally established the nonprofit organization that continues to serve today. In June 2022, Dr. Mona Radheshwar donated a fully equipped and stocked veterinary clinic, giving Doney Coe its first permanent home. On February 28, 2024, Doney Coe Pet Clinic opened its new permanent location in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood
