We had an amazing weekend in Laredo at our clinic and celebrated our 2,000th cat surgery, with our partners Best Friends for Life and Laredo Animal Protective Society . Their teams work tirelessly, not only to serve their community as a shelter, but also to TNR community cats every month! In additio…
Our second clinic in Santa Cruz was a huge success! Our team was able to sterilize 200 animals from Santa Cruz and the surrounding communities. It really is a wonder that our teams can do this time and time again as each Animal Balance clinic is made up of a different group of people. All of them a…

Most clinics have a few hitches, but this weekend was special. We faced plenty of adversity with a vet and a director out sick, new staff, equipment failures, medical emergencies, and a local race shutting down road access.

The most efficient way is to humanely stop repr…
Being that we are both a little weird, Santa Cruz was a great fit for Animal Balance. Our team recently partnered with the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter to host our first clinic in this gorgeous coastal Californian town. Instead of setting up in a regular clinic like normal people, we decided to…
The Animal Welfare Coalition in New Mexico is an excellent non-profit who are working with our Animal Balance teams to provide high quality, high volume spay/neuter services (HQHVSN) in Las Vegas, which is in north east New Mexico. It is not the glitzy place with a hilarious fake Elvis, it is a smal…
While anxious families and their pets patiently waited to be checked in to the latest Fresno clinic, the quiet morning was disrupted not by jets from the nearby military base, or ambulance traffic from the hospital, but from a big truck parked near the registration line! First the emergency blinkers…
As a Clinic Coordinator for California, I don’t always get to travel to other states, so I was really excited to go to the Apache Nation in Arizona (AZ) as a veterinary technician. I had to miss an earlier clinic in AZ because I was very sick and couldn’t fly. Part of my excitement was not only to…
