Through ARFs mobile Clinic, low-cost spay and neuter surgeries are provided to the public. ARF performed 3,987 surgeries this year which helps break the cycle of companion animal overpopulation. The mobile Clinic also provides free wellness care, vaccinations, and spay and neuter surgeries to pets belonging to veterans of the U.S. military at local VA campuses, and charitably provided services to 863 pets. Through ARFs Emergency Medical Fund, 262 veterinary care exams were provided for 130 cats and dogs belonging to low income residents of Contra Costa County, California, helping to keep pets in their existing homes. 1269161 546550 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS:ARFs Community Outreach FoodShare, which delivered 165,914 pounds of pet food and litter; Safety Net, which prevented the surrender of 424 dogs and cats to public shelters through counseling and financial assistance to at-risk families; and Resource Center that responded to 2,650 animal-related inquiries from the public.
