Starting an Independent Mobile Clinic

Two veterinarians and a former Humane Society Executive Director started a stand-alone mobile spay/neuter clinic to bring low-cost, high-quality surgeries to low-income pet owners, feral cat caregivers and agencies offering cats and dogs for adoption in a nine-county region of Ohio.  

"The most important thing is the safety of each animal. Sometimes you have to be willing to celebrate the surgeries you’ve done rather than focusing on the numbers." PetFix Northeast Ohio
