“Part III, Line 4a: Options Veterinary Care is a full-service nonprofit clinic providing affordable veterinary care to pets who would otherwise suffer without it in northern Nevada. Options services prevent the suffering of pets when the person who loves them is unable to afford the high cost of needed veterinary care. Over 70% of the people receiving services for their pets are low-income senior citizens. The balance are low-wage-earning families, people living with disabilities including veterans, homeless individuals and area rescue groups. The benefits of pets to seniors and children have been well documented. Additionally, these services reduce the numbers of pets surrendered to animal shelters, reducing the strain on them while keeping pets with the people who love them. Services include exams, vaccinations, diagnosis of illness/injury, treatment including surgery or dental care if needed, and spay/neuter. Options partners with eight local human services agencies and 21 other animal welfare agencies. Over 9,800 pets received needed veterinary care in 2024 through options thanks to the generosity of individual donors and grants.”
