We’re excited to share that we have acquired a new mobile veterinary unit that will enable our non-profit to expand existing community vaccine clinics as well as bring veterinary services to shelter partners. The mobile unit will begin serving the community in July 2024.
In 2023, Operation Kindness’ Community Initiatives team served more than 24,500 animals in Texas with community vaccine, microchip, and wellness clinics, veterinary services for shelter and rescue animals, and veterinary forensic services. The new Operation Kindness mobile veterinary unit will provide us with an enclosed, temperature-regulated space to perform vaccinations and microchipping at clinics, which are often hosted outdoors to provide easy access for members of the community. The mobile unit will also help us with our partner shelter services, as many of its shelter partners do not have surgery suites in their buildings. Operation Kindness’ Community Initiatives team performed over 5,800 shelter and rescue spay/neuter surgeries last year.
“It is always our goal to help pets in the greatest need,” said Ed Jamison, CEO of Operation Kindness. “Operation Kindness’ new mobile unit will allow us to bring lifesaving care for animals to where it is needed most in the community.”
The mobile unit will be stored at Operation Kindness’ new Lifesaving Partnerships Hub in Dallas, near Dallas Animal Services.
