🐾 ARVO in Marshall, Alaska! 🐾
We recently had the opportunity to provide a veterinary clinic in Marshall, Alaska.
During our visit, we provided:
🐶 A couple of much-needed spay surgeries
💉 Vaccinations to help protect pets from preventable diseases
🪱 Lots of parasite prevention and control to help keep pets healthier year-round
🩺 General veterinary outreach, education, and support for local pet owners
Thank you to our supporters without whom these clinics would not be possible, including: BluePearl Cares, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Petco Love, Pike Dog Wellness, and other generous donors.
A special thank you to BluePearl Cares volunteers Lisa Peddicord and Jaclyn Weiher for bringing your veterinary technician skills to our clinic team and Lacey Frame for coordinating BluePearl Cares support.
One of our favorite parts of the visit was spending time with the children of Marshall. ❤️ They were incredibly helpful, curious, and eager to be involved—asking questions, watching what our team was doing, and learning how they can help keep the animals in their community healthy.
Those moments are an important part of rural veterinary outreach. We're not only providing care for the pets in front of us—we're helping give the next generation the knowledge and tools to become advocates for the animals in their community. 🐾
Rural veterinary outreach isn't always about how many surgeries we complete. Sometimes the greatest impact comes from prevention, education, answering questions, providing resources, and building relationships within the communities we serve.
A huge thank you to the community of Marshall for welcoming our team, trusting us with your pets, and especially to all of our young helpers who made our visit that much more special! ❤️
This is what Alaska Rural Veterinary Outreach is all about: improving access to veterinary care for Alaska's rural pets and the people who love them.
