Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The mission of PFA, is to prevent animal suffering through affordable essential healthcare, public policy advocacy, and community programs. Our new Whole Families Program embraces the one health approach and is aimed to help pet parents resolve challenges in their lives to prevent their pets from being surrendered to a shelter. Our social worker assists pet parents to ensure that their pet is receiving the healthcare they need while providing support and social service referrals to resolve challenges such as housing or food insecurity, mental health issues, domestic violence or medical issues.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Spay/Neuter and Wellness Services
PFA's priority is to provide low cost access to spay/neuter surgery and wellness services. PFA performs more than 24,500 spay/neuter procedures yearly. Because of our surgeons' expertise utilizing the latest techniques, smaller incisions, and shorter anesthesia time, our patients suffer very little pain and have a faster recovery.
Wellness Services- Preventative care is one of the keys to keep pets healthy and prevent common diseases. PFA provides wellness exams, vaccinations, flea, tick, and heart worm preventatives, microchip implanting, deworming and routine diagnostic tests.
Spay Shuttle Transportation Program
The Spay Shuttle is a transportation service offered by PFA that picks up cats and small dogs from various shelters and brings them to our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinics. The animals stay overnight in their own comfortable, clean cages. To ensure the animals are in good health for surgery, they are examined in the morning by our staff veterinarian. In the evening, after surgery has been completed and the veterinarian clears them for transport, the Spay Shutttle brings them back to the shelter. Shelters may enter into a partnership with PFA to use the Spay Shuttle service to transport shelter animals to and from the clinic for surgery prior to adoption. The cost of the shuttle service is free. Shelters will also agree to allow their facility to serve as the pickup and drop-off point for the general public.
Wellness Services
PFA's wellness services program offers affordable routine pet care to the general public and animal welfare groups. The primary goals of the program are two fold: 1. encourage early spay/neuter to prevent accidental litters and 2. make per ownership more affordable, thus reducing shelter surrenders and increasing the number of homes available to shelter animals.
Mobil Spay Station
Low cost spay/neuter surgeries performed by our Mobil Spay Station Clinic.
Community Cats Safety Net Program
PFA provides support to community members who discover new born kittens in their neighborhood to enable them to care for them until they reach 8 weeks of age when they can be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated. After that PFA will work with the caretakers to find future homes for them. By involving community members, PFA is able to leverage and expand it's TNVR efforts throughout the state.
TNR Workshops
PFA conducts TNR training workshops regularly at each clinic and offers these workshops in the field for interested organizations that which to promote TNR in their communities.
