The New Mexico Street Pet Project Story

“To whom much is given, much is expected in return. Growing up here in New Mexico, my dream was to become a veterinarian. The guidance and opportunities provided by family, teachers, mentors, colleagues and our clients has helped shape our group of veterinary practices. We’re extremely grateful for this community that has given so much. New Mexico Street Pet Project is an opportunity for us to give back to the community through our mission to promote healthy futures and a strong human/animal bond through access to quality care, education, resource referral/distribution, giving, and support services.”
