“The lack of access to basic veterinary services for families living in poverty results in numerous animals being surrendered to shelters. We beleive that every pet deserves a vet. So, in 2020, the clinic began offering low-cost wellness visits for income-qualified pet owners so their pets could get a thorough examination, treatment for minor issues, and preventative services to keep their pets healthy.”

“Additional Program Accomplishments:The positive impact of these surgeries is being seen in almost all of the county shelters in our service area, as the dog and cat intake rates are decreasing and therefore the euthanasia rates are decreasing. To keep pets healthy and out of shelters, UCAN also provides at low-cost microchips, rabies, and other recommended vaccinations, parasite prevention, and treatment for worms and other minor conditions. The clinic serves 24 counties in 3 states with most of the clients coming from the 15 counties within a 50 mile radius of Cincinnati. To ensure everyone in its service area has access to its affordable spay/neuter services, UCAN provides free transports to its clinic from several locations in the surrounding counties that it serves.”
