2026 Clinic Fund
15/10 Members
This year, our foundation sponsored 9 free vet clinics, providing critical care to over 700 pets in communities where resources are extremely limited. They received vaccines, microchips, got spayed or neutered, anything they needed at no cost to their humans.
We want to do more of these clinics. Way more. Our initial goal today is to raise $25,000 so we can lock in 10 of these clinics in 2026, but we will do as many as we can fundraise for. Each one costs at a minimum $2,500 in supplies and medical resources. That is cheaper than one TPLO surgery for one torn knee on one dog or parvovirus care for one single puppy. But these clinics directly impact hundreds of families, and with the spay/neuter component, prevent so much future suffering.
Here’s a look at what we made possible in 2025:
Three clinics were led by the Portland Animal Welfare Team, an organization that helps pets of people experiencing houselessness or extreme poverty. Many housing programs require pets to be vaccinated, forcing people to choose between shelter and their dog. Across these clinics, we covered medical care and vaccines for 121 dogs, ensuring people don’t have to face that impossible decision.
Another clinic was with Project Street Vet in Los Angeles, a nonprofit serving seniors, veterans, LGBTQIA+ community members, the formerly incarcerated, and many others experiencing houselessness. With your support, 37 dogs received care.
We were also lucky enough to partner with organizations on Native land across the country who, in addition to wellness, had the capacity to provide surgical procedures including spay and neuter.
The first three were led by First Nations Vet starting with the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon, where—for the first time in years—only one clinic was needed instead of two. We covered 58 dogs’ care , helping keep that momentum going so the need in the area continues to ease.
Another took place on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, where one animal patrol officer, Woody, is responsible for 1.5 million acres all by himself. Thanks to our community, 84 dogs received essential care, making Woody’s impossible job a little lighter.
This next one is especially meaningful because it was the first-ever clinic on the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon, where there’s no vet or shelter at all. For many pets, this was their first exam. We paid for 75 dogs’ medical care, and with your help, will support them again next spring.
Another one with our partner, Underdog Rescue, on the Navajo Nation Reservation, where only three veterinarians serve the entire 16-million-acre region. In just one weekend, we helped provide care to 317 dogs.
The final was with Yakima Valley Pet Rescue and Adoption Center on the Yakima Reservation in Washington, where the nearest emergency vet is over 80 miles away. 57 dogs were cared for there.
