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.

<h1>The Beloved Community</h1>
<h3>2026 Community Summer Choir | Colesville Presbyterian Church</h3>
"We are tied in a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In 2026, as our nation celebrates 250 years of independence, we invite you to be part of a powerful musical tribute. Our Community Summer Choir is more than just a rehearsal—it is an invitation to build the "Beloved Community" through the power of song. Whether you are a seasoned choral singer or haven't sung in a group for years, there is a place for you in this harmony.

<h2>🌟 The Vision: USA 250 &amp; Dr. King</h2>
"We are tied in a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In the summer of 2026, as our nation celebrates 250 years of independence, we gather at Colesville Presbyterian Church to explore the "Beloved Community"—Dr. King’s vision of a society fueled by justice, hope, and radical harmony.
This program is a musical reflection on the American journey. We begin with the quiet, internal yearning of "To Sit and Dream" and "The Road Home," acknowledging that the American dream is a path we are still walking. We confront the realities of our modern world in "The Spaces in Between Us," seeking to bridge the gaps with melody and understanding.
The concert culminates in a vibrant celebration of choral excellence. Through the sophisticated harmonies of "A Quiet Place" and the infectious, gospel-infused energy of "How Good!" and "Unity Song," we prove that our voices are stronger together.
Join us as we celebrate two and a half centuries of history, not just by looking back, but by singing forward—building a community where every voice is heard and every soul finds a home.
