Spay and neuter field clinics We are a small group of animal professionals dedicated to making a difference.

We have decided that we can no longer look away from the horrific condition companion animals are living in across our borders and at home. We all are involved here in the United States with animal shelter projects. Together we have the education, compassion and medical backgrounds to achieve our goal of canine and feline sterilization along with medically treating those in need.

I think it is so important to explain how the medical team for hpab works.
We are a team/family some volunteers have been with me 11 plus years. Our Veterinarians I believe are some of the very best in the United States.
Not sure how we got so lucky but wow
We definitely are.
In the photo below you will see it is all blue shirts (hpab core team members)
There are a few more of us not pictured here cause we were actually working
HAHAHAHA LOL.
Not pictured is animals getting there pre op exams, our staff answering client questions. Meeting our patients before they come to surgery area. Weighing and giving pre meds to help the pets relax.
Instruments are being sterilized and packs made for surgery. Induction drugs and also basic take home meds for pain are being prepped.
Cats are in tent or closed room being weighed, hearts checked and induction drugs given all prior to going to the k/d (knock down) station to be prepped for surgery.
We have two recovery stations one for cats and one for dogs.
These post surgery animals are having tpr's taken, ears cleaned, nails trimmed,
Sometimes brushed but mostly they are not waking up in a kennel.
They are being loved on and cared for by our recovery teams.
This is where I like to add in the hosting groups volunteers with a hpab lead for both cat and dog recovery. in this clinic it was BAM. It is so important to educate and do hands on training with others so they can learn and thrive in the animal welfare field.
This was our 3rd clinic with Bam in Del Rio and Jessica has amazing volunteers
That continue to come back for the clinics. So incredible!
We absolutely 💯 percent would work with Bam any time...

Remember love is a four-legged word.

Here with the Hpab team we LOVE four legged words...

Absolutely would not have been able to perform these surgeries without your support.
Dr. Gina, Dr. Gene, Dr Kaitlyn
Handled these surgeries with perfection.
The HPAB volunteers as always are the very best. Compassion and Kindness for all animals and it absolutely shows in each and every touch of any animal.
I wanted OPS and WOR

When you are groggy from surgery and get carried around and loved on all day

This past weekend we were at Laguna Pueblo. We conducted a Free spay and neuter clinic and it was also for the surrounding native American Tribes.
I wanted our friends and supporters to know that we also dedicated the clinic to our friend and family member Kendra Pasquel.
Sadly this very young lady passed away suddenly and we all lost our sister, daughter, friend and probably one of the best technicians I have ever met in my 50 plus years in the animal welfare business.
I always request volunteers from the local areas we work at to involve the communities. We were so fortunate to have a young lady Kallie K. Inquire about helping us on our first clinic day in Laguna. I couldn't say yes fast enough.
Kallie said she had taken all her classes at CNM to be a reg.Vet tech. Kallie struggles like so many of us with needing a good job to earn the monies to purchase that one last step in getting her license.
I need to tell you when I hugged Kallie (cause thats what I do) it took my breath away. I had to step back and look her right in the face. I felt our Kendra 100 percent telling me something but I was not sure what Kendra wanted.
I went back to my cat house and 10 minutes later after containing my tears I knew exactly what Kendra wanted me to do. I went to my surgeons who also consider Kendra as family.
I explained how I needed to take Kallie from dog recovery and put her in surgery as tech i wanted to see how she would do. They said sure we will give her a go.
Later that day our Dr. Gina called me over.
She fell in love with Kallie said she was an incredible tech and young lady.
Explained how We the hpab team needed
To help her.
I immidiatly went to registration where our friend/family member Pat was working. Pat runs a couple vets clinics.
Told her about Kallie asked if we could help her get a vet tech job.
Pat went right over to surgery and they got each others information for a job interview.
Then Dr Gina asked if there was a way we could help her get the funding so she could take her test to get licensed.
The entire hpab team and the Laguna officers also stepped up.
We got the 400.00 bucks in one day.
We all knew this was the right thing to do and it was also in Kendra leading this effort.
THAT WAS WHAT THIS LAGUNA CLINIC WAS MEANT FOR.
KENDRA and Ollie to honor Kendra.
We did every single animal that came to us.
Total was around 170 .
But wow what an amazing experience for the hpab team.
Kendra we will never forget you not ever!
