Medical - Pets In Need is dedicated to optimizing the health, safety, and well-being of its shelter guests, and community animals. Each shelter is supported by a skilled veterinary team and volunteers who deliver exceptional care and quality medical services. Animals arriving through intake or from high-intake regional shelters receive comprehensive medical attention, including basic exams, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and deworming regimens. For animals requiring advanced or specialized treatment, Pets In Need provides care in-house and through trusted partner specialty providers. Additionally, our community veterinary clinic offers affordable wellness services to pets in the community, ensuring even more animals receive the care they need to thrive. The medical team performed 1,764 procedures and 3,672 vaccinations for pets this year.

Animal Care and Foster - Our animal care team is comprised of dedicated staff who ensure the daily needs and well-being of all sheltered and fostered pets are met. Foster coordinators collaborate with Pets In Need's significant foster network to place animals in temporary homes, helping to expand shelter capacity while providing animals with love and support on their journey to adoption. Foster volunteers play a vital role by temporarily opening their homes, allowing us to care for more animals, including those with special needs. Additionally, time in foster allows animals the opportunity to learn how to live successfully in homes and helps to alleviate stress. The animal care and foster team found foster homes for 970 pets this year.
