“Every time I volunteer at the shelter, I think, ‘This is the saddest place on earth.’ And yet, the dogs and cats continue to pour in. We won’t be able to adopt or foster our way out of this pet overpopulation crisis. We’ll only stop the needless suffering if we control the overpopulation at the source – and that’s through spaying and neutering. I wish the AnimalKind Community Veterinary Clinic had been around five years ago, but I’m so thankful that it’s coming.”

"We come from a community served by a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter clinic with wellness services—an investment that helped achieve no-kill status and now benefits more than five surrounding counties. With AnimalKind’s new clinic, Raleigh and nearby communities have a real opportunity to reach no-kill status by reducing the cycle of unwanted litters among companion animals. That’s why we are proud to support AnimalKind."

"We constantly witness the strain on communities overwhelmed by outdoor cats, as well as the compassion of those doing their best to help without enough access to spay/neuter services and preventive care. The AnimalKind Community Veterinary Clinic will bring much-needed capacity to this region, helping prevent disease and ease suffering for the animals people love and care for."
