Project X

The need to address the tragic euthanasia numbers
in our county and to help reduce the financial
barriers to pet owners has been a constant problem
that has plagued both veterinarians and citizens of
Stanislaus County.  Stanislaus County Animal Services
is a department which is overburdened and understaffed
especially in light of the current budgetary demands. 
With the current economic difficulties, it is unlikely
that the cities within Stanislaus County are capable
of offering more services.  History has proven that
government institutions will never provide a service
as efficiently or economically as the private sector. 
As such, the veterinary community of Stanislaus County
recognizes the need to step forward and offer a solution to the ongoing issue of pet-overpopulation.

Project X, is a low cost spay/neuter project launched by Dr. Rob Santos of Turlock, 4 years ago.  This program has been successfully integrated into 12 Stanislaus County Veterinary Hospitals, and has allowed over 7000 dogs and cats to be neutered since June of 2009  in a manner that is not disruptive to daily practice.

   MODESTO POLICE K9
  Adopt a K-9 Program

In December of 2008 we were approached
by the Modesto Police Department to
participate in The Adopt a K-9 Program.
This program was initiated to raise funds
that are used to help update the ongoing
training of our K-9 teams and also  to
purchase equipment needed to perform
everyday K-9 duties and maintenance.

We adopted K9 Vanco.  He is a 7yr old
German Shepherd from Denmark.  He arrived
in Modesto is 2004 where he was partnered
with Officer Brian Kleiber.  They were
certified for patrol in 2004.  We
appreciate the work Brian and Vanco do,
and welcome the opportunity help them.
