More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Our beneficiaries are potentially everyone who cares for animals, as well as the animals themselves. Animals in distress in life-threatening situations--whether hit by a car, poisoned or othewised injured--often die because they cannot get medical care in time. Three pet-friendly ambulances--stationed with affiliated vet techs throughout LA County-will allow us the ability to save more animals in need, and vet tech-administererd training courses will build our team of volunteer first responders.

Activities

We're working with techs from the veterinary medicine program at an area college to create curricula for volunteers & citizens. A vet tech from there will oversee scheduling of 24/7 on-call driver/techs who will respond to hotline calls.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Successful intervention in more life-threatening situations will build the network of clinics and animal care providers that will help us "give animals a fighting chance." Someday, we hope to launch a dedicated Pet-A-Medic Clinic to care for animals

Project Message

"I have been working as a veterinary doctor for years, and never have I seen such an organization so devoted when it comes to animal healthcare services for pet owners and their pets."
- Dr. Howard Brown, DVM, Pet Vet, Supporter and head of participating clinic
