Join the VET NETWORK

We are seeking vets and techs who are willing to do in-home visits for acute needs, including in-home euthanasia, fill prescriptions as needed, and fit in an extra spay or neuter surgery as needed.

MORE INFO

We are a team of rescuers, veterinary professionals, animal lovers, and religious professionals who see the need for this work in this place at this time.

Our hearts shatter to think about how many animals are still hiding behind locked doors, waiting to be found because their human never came home. The ones needing a sanctuary of their own because their human has been deported. The ones needing extra enrichment because it's not safe for their humans to walk them outside. We cannot do everything, but we can provide support to this vulnerable population and give the humans who love them the support they need to continue caring for them. Families belong together, and that includes EVERY member of the family.

Who are we?

A Note About Security and Safety

We are not security experts, but we’re doing our best to keep information protected. Offers to volunteer with us are handled through Google Forms; you do not have to provide all of the information in the form.

Requests for help are taken in through Jotform, which has a higher level of security.

    More tips to find your lost animal:

    • Check in and around the house (closets, under beds, sheds, window wells, etc.)

    • Dawn and dusk offer a quiet time where lost animals will venture out more, take a flashlight and smelly treats

    • Do not chase! See if they will follow you. Lost animals go into flight mode and are less likely to come to you, even as their owner.

    • Notify your neighbors that your pet is missing (yes, even if you live in an apartment!) Ask them to check their cameras.

    • Place a blanket, bed, or worn clothing item outside of your home. You can also leave their food or litterbox.

    • If your pet is microchipped, contact the company to report them missing. Make sure your contact information is up-to-date. Don’t know the company? Ask the vet clinic or shelter/rescue that chipped them. To look up any microchip company, visit Pet Microchip Lookup

    • Hang posters in your neighborhood
