Due to the events of the F3 tornado that hit the Valley View & Sanger, TX area, the Animal Hospital on Milam Road's wonderful staff has gone out into the community & rescued many fur babies and brought them back into the clinic for shelter and care.

There are many pups that they have under their care as well as that have needed treatment. One of their lovely guests is named Willow & was found on the side of the road by a wonderful human & she has a broken leg & pelvis that needs an important extensive surgery! Funds will go towards Willow's surgery, vaccinations, medications, & other treated injuries! They also have some pups that have found their owners but will be staying at the clinic at no cost due to their homes being destroyed or them being hospitalized themselves that funds will go towards.

We would love your help in raising money! These sweet babies have been through so much trauma already & we appreciate absolutely everything that this community has already done to help them! If you feel led to donate to the cause, please use this link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-tornadoaffected-dogs-in-sanger

Last week, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Destination Pet’s field leaders participated in QPR Gatekeeper training and certification with none other than the incredible Dr. Mia Cary. QPR stands for “Question, Persuade, Refer” and is a data-driven and conversation-based way of supporting folks who are experiencing su***de ideation.

In our commitment to being the provider of choice for pets and those who care for them (feel free to tweak), we believe that workplace wellbeing starts with ensuring our leaders have the training and resources to create cultures and practices of wellbeing in their pet and vet care centers.

For the month of May we would love to spotlight Marissa Dube, the Manager at Pet Resort & Spa Inc. ! Please see a few words from Marissa below - we're so grateful to have such a passionate and pet-obsessed pack member!!

"Destination Pet has changed my life for the better, I am thriving working here- and so are my dogs! With my work history in animal care, fostering/rescuing dogs and my passion for animals makes coming to work like going to my second home. I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow with this wonderful company, I am excited to see where I’ll go in the future. There’s a difference between a manager and an owner, and I’m that difference. I love Norwichtown Pet Resort and Spa and I am so proud of how far it’s come."
