We are pawsitively happy with our 2023 partnership with The Street Dog Coalition (SDC) to provide pet wellness services to families experiencing homelessness. We have hosted three events so far. Our busy April 15 clinic took place in San Luis Obispo. On June 3, we helped several unsheltered families in Lompoc in collaboration with Good Samaritan Shelters. On September 16, we went to the Santa Maria Riverbed together with Good Samaritan Shelters, whose community outreach team helps promote all of our clinics.

During our events, dogs and cats receive vaccines, flea treatment, wellness exams, nail trims and other services from our vet team, lead by SDC’s Dr. Alex Gomes and technician Becky Clement. We also provide supplies and pet food. We will continue to host regular events for the unhoused throughout Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties with Street Dog Coalition and other partners.
