It’s National Veterinary Technician Week!
Behind every wagging tail and purring patient at ARC is a tech who makes it all happen.
They monitor anesthesia, comfort nervous pets, keep our clinic running smoothly — and somehow still manage to smile through the chaos!
Thank you to our incredible tech team for everything you do every single day 💜

Another week has come and gone at ARC, and our team stayed as busy as ever! We spent two days focused on wellness appointments, helping pets stay up to date on vaccines and prevention. The remaining days were filled with spay and neuter surgeries—our specialty! Altogether, we cared for 146 dogs and cats. Every visit helps make our community healthier and happier!

Our Ready Set Rescue expansion is already changing lives!

Thanks to the generosity of the The Golisano Foundation, ARC’s Ready Set Rescue! program is already making an impact. Four dogs from Manatee County Animal Welfare recently received free spay/neuter surgeries at ARC after being transferred to the Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch.

This is what lifesaving collaboration looks like — county shelters, rescues, and ARC working together to give every dog and cat the chance they deserve.

ARC’s Ready Set Rescue! program is a collaborative effort that saves more lives. County shelters continually struggle with the high volume of cats and dogs coming into their facilities, and to help alleviate this, our rescue partners transfer animals from county shelters for their own adoption programs. In support of this collaboration, ARC offers these rescue partners free spay/neuter for animals that have been transferred from any county shelter in the state of Florida.

If you’re looking to adopt a small dog, be sure to check out Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch!

Life at ARC never slows down, and this week was no exception! We held two wellness clinic days where pets came in for vaccines and prevention. The rest of the week, our team was hard at work in surgery, focusing on spays and neuters. By week’s end, 128 dogs and cats received care!

Big News for Florida’s Shelter Pets!

Thanks to the generosity of The Golisano Foundation, ARC’s Ready Set Rescue (RSR) program is now open to all counties in Florida!

What does this mean?
Every dog and cat transferred from a Florida county shelter into a 501(c)(3) rescue can now receive a FREE spay/neuter surgery at ARC — until the program funds are exhausted.

Why is this important?
This program helps save lives by easing overcrowding in shelters, preventing unnecessary euthanasia, and gives pets the chance to find their forever homes.

Since RSR began 6 years ago, more than 1,800 animals across 22 counties have received free spay/neuter surgeries through ARC—paving the way for second chances, wagging tails, and happy adoptions.

We’re so proud to continue this work alongside our rescue partners, powered by the generosity of the Golisano Foundation. Together, we’re making a difference for Florida’s shelter pets.

Follow along to see the stories of the animals whose lives are going to be changed through RSR expanding its reach!
