CalAnimals-sponsored AB 1733 has passed! We would like to thank Assemblymember Alex Lee, the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA), our state legislature, and Governor Gavin Newsom for passing AB 1733 to offer veterinarians more incentive to provide pro-bono spay/neuter services to animal shelters and rescue organizations through a pathway that allows them to earn up to 4 hours of CE. This bill also allows RVTs to earn up to two hours of CE credit for their pro-bono support in performing animal health tasks related to spay/neuter services. With a documented shortage of veterinarians in our state and bottlenecks of animals awaiting spay/neuter in our shelters, we are exploring every possible means of making the most of the veterinarians we have through multiple legislative efforts. We deeply appreciate everyone's support in making this important legislative change.

Your pet is due for vaccines, but it seems impossible to carve out the time!

We understand, and we are here to help! Pre-register and pay online at www.cornerstoneac.org, and get your pet in and out for basic vaccinations or microchipping fast enough to get back to your life's regularly scheduled programming without missing a beat. We are finding that most of our vaccine clinic clients are out the door within ten minutes of their arrival.

Check out the services that we offer at https://cornerstoneac.org/services-pricing, and sign up today! Your pet, your wallet, and your calendar will thank you. You might even save enough time to crochet your dog a brand new frog bonnet to show off on instagram, but they probably won't thank you for that.

We had such a great time today at the Avenal Easter Egg Hunt and were excited to be part of the 2nd Annual Pooch Playoffs!

Congratulations to all the winners and participants—you all made it such a fun event. A big kudos to Tamara for organizing the Pooch Playoffs; she is truly amazing!

We also want to thank Raul, Samantha, and all the shelter staff who helped make today possible. And a special thank you to all the sponsors, participants, presenters, and donors for your support!

We also want to congratulate Krypto and his humans, the first place winners. They won a dinner for two and a one night stay at Harris Ranch Resort, and will go on to the International Competition!
