Thank you to our incredible team at VCA Emergency Animal Hospital & Referral Center!!

You may have seen Tuesday's SWAT standoff in the news and heard that one of our beloved San Diego Police Department police dogs was injured. That is true. Yet, our valiant K9 Bowie II survived the incident, has been cleared and released by our friends at VCA Animal Hospitals, and is expected to return to duty! His recovery is nothing short of a holiday "miracle."

What's more, K9 Bowie II played a significant part in causing the suspect to give up — and end the stand-off, bringing peace and safety back to our community.

For the past 22 years, every police service dog at the San Diego Police Department has been purchased with funds donated by the community through the Police Foundation. K9 Bowie II was proudly funded through our K9 Program.

Fun fact: his official start date was Christmas Day in 2023!

These specialized canines safeguard public events, find missing persons, locate evidence, de-escalate dangerous situations, prevent shootings, and preserve life.

This past weekend a team of our VCA doctors helped the Humane Society of Southwest Washington with their spay and neuter procedures. This partnership not only helps the shelter animals get the medical care they need to be placed in homes faster, but also helps our doctors gain valuable surgical experience. We had four doctors participate in the clinic along with four outstanding members of our veterinary technician team. At VCA we put the future of veterinary medicine first and constantly strive to improve our skills and be the best possible medical team for you and your pets. Great job all!
Surgical mentees: Dr. Yun Ting Agnes Ng (VCA Panther Lake), Dr. Rhianon Desidiri (VCA Crown Hill)
Surgical Mentors: Dr. Terry White (VCA 12 Mile) and Dr. Mary Arpaia (VCA McKenzie)
Technical Staff: Geoffrey Michaels (VCA East Mill Plain), Nica Morgan (VCA 12 Mile), Olivia Whitney (VCA Raleigh Hills), Karen Anderson (VCA Clackamas)

We mourn today as part of the veterinary community in solidarity with who lost Summer Taylor, one of their own. Summer lost their life while peacefully protesting in the early hours of July 4th. They were one of our community. Summer was described as "a positive force of nature". We feel their loss and extend our deepest sympathies to the veterinary family at Urban Animal. As a veterinary community, we are all deeply saddened by this senseless and tragic loss of life.
