Blood Drive for Dennis Jenkins, D.V.M.
Dr. Dennis Jenkins, DVM
Dennis has been by my side through hurricanes and fires, through countless seizures, in and out of courts, in muddy pastures at 3 AM on Sunday mornings, always ready to do whatever can be done for the horses. I always take comfort in knowing that if there is any hope at all for saving a horse’s life, Dennis would do it. And not just for us – he cares deeply for each and every horse.
Now Dennis needs us. As I write this, he’s back in the hospital. It’s been a long time since he felt great. His road to recovery has taken a twisted path, from one problem to another. Now he’s at UTMB, one of the best hospitals in the country, and his docs think they have his medical issues under control. Walking out of the hospital and back to treating horses at his clinic is a real possibility.
“What can I do?” is an often asked question. For those of us in this community, here’s an answer – donate your blood. Paying it back to a man than has paid it forward with his dedication to the horses. If you do not live in the Houston, TX area – consider donating blood at your local hospital or Red Cross n honor of Dr. Jenkins. ~ Jerry

I had no idea that Doc Jenkins had been ill, and I am so sorry to hear about this! Peggy and Larry’s vet – Dr. Guitar, went into the hospital last summer for kidney problems and found out he had cancer of the pancreas. He’s better, thank God – but it’s so wrong that these wonderful men who care so much for the horses have to endure this. I will be praying for Doc Jenkins – the horses at the Habitat need him.

Praying for a full recovery Dr. Jenkins. We loved you from the start as Elizabeth got her own horse, Orion, and began showing him. You were not just our doc, but our friend.
Heather Spencer
Well, heck yes I’d donate blood to help Dr. Jenkins! I’ve gone to him for years and he’s gone “above and beyond” several times for several different medical cases! Can we donate sooner or is it best to wait for the organized blood drive? Thanks!
