Meet Michele, this month's Volunteer Spotlight! By day, Michele is a successful engineer and business owner, but she also knows the importance of stepping away from work to recharge and give back. She regularly volunteers long past a regular shift and in only a handful of months, she has volunteered well over 150 hours! Volunteering at Mission Animal Hospital offers her the perfect opportunity to clear her head, make a meaningful difference, and support pets and the families

When Amber’s four‑year‑old dog, Yoda, suddenly became dangerously ill, two emergency clinics told her the same heartbreaking thing: the care he needed was simply out of reach. She was urged to consider the unthinkable—not because he couldn’t be saved, but because she couldn’t afford to save him. Instead, Amber brought Yoda to Mission Animal Hospital. What happened next is the reason accessible care changes everything.

Keeping your pet healthy starts with protecting them from the parasites they can’t see coming. Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms can cause serious illness—but preventatives stop problems before they start. Because every pet’s lifestyle is different, your veterinary team can help you choose the safest, most effective plan, whether your companion is an outdoor adventurer or a cozy couch‑dweller.
