Thankful Thursday ❤🐾☀️🐕🐈‍⬛

Today, we’d like to take a moment to say – Thank you – to all who have supported us through the years. Thank you to our rescue partners, community cat caregivers, trappers, and volunteers who help fill our capacity each day, and of course, to our public clients – Thank you, ALL! 🤗

Altered Tails appreciates the patronage over the years and strives to be the clinic you refer to and return to when a new pet enters your life.

This year, we have started making little upgrades to our 70+ year-old building 🛠 We acknowledge the expressed concerns by some for our location’s surroundings; though we cannot change some things, we are working to make building improvements to make Altered Tails a place where our clients feel comfortable leaving their pets, and our staff is proud to work at. Much has changed in the last 18 years since Altered Tails opened its doors on W Hatcher Rd, 85021; however, our dedication to the community, pet owners, and animals has not!

Altered Tails and its AMAZING staff and relief veterinarians are here for your pet’s spay/neuter needs (dogs and cats) and community-cat TNR services.

Thank you, everyone, from the bottom of our hearts and paws🐾More updates to come…soon 😊

**A shout out 📣 to the Altered Tails team who have been with the organization all these years, through the ups and downs, renovation days, cleaning, painting and so much more +plus+ the dedicated relief veterinarians who share the same compassion for helping the animals and are with us during this ride – Altered Tails would not be here without you all…Thank YOU! 🤗
