Lort Smith. Animal Hospital
Since 1936, Lort Smith has been here for Melbourne’s pets and their people – not for profit.
Help give animals like Monty a second chance
When Monty arrived at Lort Smith, his life was hanging by a thread. At only two years old, the American Staffordshire Terrier was fighting for his life in our Intensive Care Unit after major abdominal surgery. Monty’s life was changed thanks to the kind support of people like you.
