Hear from Wendy:

“The work of The Street Dog Coalition deeply resonates with me as I know first hand the ability of our animals to soothe, nurture and carry us forward in our most difficult and trying times. By providing free veterinary services to our unhoused population, we are supporting them through a recognition of our shared humanity.

During my first SDC Clinic in Santa Cruz, California, a pet parent brought her very sweet, exuberant and healthy one year old dog to say hello to the SDC crew. The pet parent's dog didn't need care that day, but had connected with Andrea Romano (Vice Chairperson on SDC’s Board of Directors and Co-Team Lead for the Bay Area Team) at previous clinics and shared with Andrea that she was moving from the encampment into semi-permanent housing in a month. She came to thank Andrea and the SDC team for all they had done for her and her dog.”
