Central Valley animal welfare organizations and pet owners are meeting shared veterinary challenges with innovation and collaboration to make sure animals get the care they need. Fresno Animal Center Director Alma Torres and her team have built powerful local and regional partnerships—and they’re seeing real results.
At this All Call, Alma and colleague Dr. Candace Krider (Veterinarian and Medical Director, Fresno Animal Center) walk us through key strategies that have helped the shelter and community navigate difficult times and keep moving forward.
You’ll learn how they’ve:
- Established a medical clinic and coordinated with partner organizations to expand spay/neuter access.
- Launched new community programs to provide free microchips, vaccines, and pet food.
- Reduced barriers through initiatives like fee-waived reclaims and free adoptions to keep and bring more pets and people together.
