Designed to keep pets with their families, the clinic will offer affordable preventive care, emergency treatment, and even end-of-life services — all to combat the heartbreaking reality that over 1,300 pets were surrendered last year due to housing and money woes. Eligible residents, including those on disability or earning under $35,000, can access reduced fees with referrals from social workers. Construction begins this fall, with a projected opening by late 2027 — recognizing that pets aren’t just animals, they’re emotional anchors, especially for vulnerable youth, helping reduce isolation, depression, and even drug use. This isn’t just veterinary care — it’s compassionate, community-driven support for families in crisis. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
