Bringing Trusted Care Back To The Former Pet+ER Location

VivaVets Animal Hospital

Urgent Care Returns to Former Pet+ER Location: VivaVets Animal Hospital Now Open Bridging the gap between your family vet and the ER with Sunday hours, same day appointments available, and transparent pricing for Columbia pets. VivaVets Animal Hospital has officially launched in the iconic facility, but with a new mission. Founded by Dr. Kanwal Sharma, VivaVets is an independent, veterinarian-owned practice specializing in Veterinary Urgent Care and Lifestyle Medicine. The "Middle Ground" Your Pet Needs Most pet owners know the frustration of a Friday night ear infection or a Sunday morning paw injury. Your regular vet is closed, but the 24/7 Emergency Room warns of a six-hour wait and a four-figure bill. VivaVets was built to solve this exact problem. By focusing on "urgent but stable" cases—such as minor wounds, toxins, vomiting, and infections—VivaVets offers a faster, more affordable alternative to the traditional ER. What to Expect: • Sunday Availability: Open 10 AM – 8 PM (Closed Wed/Sat) • Same Day Appointments: No long wait hours for urgent care needs. • ER Technology, Local Feel: Advanced in-house diagnostics, state of the art digital X-rays, and ultrasound paired with a warm, independent clinic atmosphere. • Specialty Care: The hospital hosts in-person cardiology clinics every other Friday, eliminating the need for long-distance specialty travel for Howard County residents. • Lifestyle and Lifestage Medicine &amp; Beyond: In addition to urgent care, VivaVets offers life-stage plans to keep your pets healthy from puppyhood through their senior years. "We aren't just a clinic in a building; we are a part of this neighborhood," says Dr. Sharma. "We wanted to bring trusted, timely care back to this location so that pet parents never have to choose between their schedule and their pet's health." Visit VivaVets Today! VivaVets is now accepting new patients. Whether you need a wellness checkup or immediate care for a sick pet, the team is ready to help.

Monday, September 7, 2026 · Doors Open 6:00 PM · A Labor Day Special
Screen fantastic collection of films in THE BEST OF THE 48 HOUR FILM PROJECT. Ever wonder what it takes to make a movie? This is a dynamic event, and not just one film — it's a social gathering, conversation, and a curated lineup of the very best from 70,000+ films made across more than 100 cities worldwide, screening together on one night. Alongside standout entries from the international 48 Hour Film Project circuit, we're also proudly including films made by our own Maryland filmmakers — proof that the same creative energy powering competitions from coast to coast is alive right here at home.
Star Guest: Mark Ruppert — From a D.C. Experiment to a Global Filmmaking Phenomenon
In 2001, Mark Ruppert had an idea that seemed almost impossible: challenge filmmakers to write, shoot, and edit an entire short film in just 48 hours. He wasn't running a studio or a national institution — he was a working filmmaker in the D.C. area, hand-delivering flyers to get the word out about what he called "an experiment."
That experiment is now the 48 Hour Film Project — the world's largest and longest-running filmmaking competition. What began blocks from where many of tonight's audience members live and work has grown into a launchpad sending city winners to the Cannes Film Festival's Short Film Corner and to Filmapalooza, its international "best of" showcase. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process and an intimate perspective on the filmmaker experience.
Join us for an intimate, interactive conversation with Mark himself — from the local idea nobody was sure would work, to a movement now reaching red carpets abroad — live and in person, taking your questions, followed by an audience Q&amp;A with local Maryland filmmakers who have been part of the 48 Hour Film Project. We'll also preview some of the dynamic films screening this Season!
A Fun, Entertaining Night at Collective Encore with Delicious Food Options and Bar!
Settle in for the screenings, meet Mark Ruppert face-to-face, and stick around for an audience Q&amp;A alongside the local Maryland filmmakers behind tonight's hometown entries. And while the films run the show, Collective Encore's menu and bar are yours to enjoy all evening — think Maryland Crab Chowder, Chesapeake Arancini, a Crab Cake Sandwich on brioche, and craft cocktails like the Kittamaqundi Crush, all available to order right from your seat. (Food &amp; beverage available for purchase directly through Collective Encore, separate from your festival ticket.)
🎟️ Individual tickets available $30 or attend at no extra cost with an All Festival Pass ($75) which gives access to ALL Screenings, in-person or virtual, and to all Special Events.
